Hi Rita, Wow, that is the people I'm tracing!! Thanks. I went to the LDS family history library last night and the 1861 census is on line now and I found Lydia's father. It is Frederick W Knowles. I looked on Ancestry.com and the only marriage to an Alice I could see, puts the marriage the year the second child was born. Not unheard of I know but I can't be sure. Thanks again, jwhite
