Me again, found the entry on this site http://tetlow.screaming.net/marriages_1800-1825.htm I typed in Cricklade parish registers and this site came up, I am looking for the Sims family but they all seemed to have married away from Cricklade and moved there afterwards, ancestors can be so annoying sometimes.

Thankyou for that . wish i'd learnt to type... will check it out . My lot are from Ashton keynes, all seem to have illegitmate children and marry cousins with same names and then these cousins seem to marry sisters in the same family, wouldn't be surprised if found out was related to whole of the village in some way or another.tThey seem to do marriage as an after thought after babies, some things change . some things stay the same C'est la vie..... bye and cheers KIM
