thanks jess.....which registration area would middlewich use??....both seem feasible,though the second would only make mary 16.....she had her first child william when she was 22...so the first looks a better option....regards...allan

Allan All these events are pre registration so the district will be defined by parish. You will need to look at the Parish registers for both these events and bring them forward, to work out which is yours (if either are) by matching the baptisms of the children of each couple. OC
