HELP!! I have discovered there are two people by the name of William Giles born in Modbury in 1726 - just one month apart!.

How can I find out which of them married Jenny Ferris in Holbeton, Devon on 25.11.1763 and is connected to my family tree?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated

Just had a look...................see what you mean.
Maybe contact with Records Office for that parish...........Exeter??

EDIT...........www.devon.gov.uk/record_office.htm

Thanks Alan,

I am desperate so I think it is probably worth a try.

Many thanks
