William Stephens 1806 Cirencester

[James2you]

Hi, I have the above wed to Mary Ann Keen 1827 St Edwards K.C. Gloucester, made the mistake of accepting hints on Ancestry without checking, now got a bit confused with the family, can anyone confirm the family for me and if the kids wed ?
Susan 1828, Martha Maria 1831 etc all in Gloucester.

Thanks

Any marriages for their children would be after 1837 so can be found using freebmd or Family Search

Have you checked any census entries for them?

To ensure you have the right couple - which of their children are you descended from?

Hello & thank you both CaroleW & Swar, firstly I am related through my better half`s side , Agnes Maria Oconnor, Martha Stephens and so on.... the family is as I have plus one or two more , but because of a weak Internet not able to carry out proper searches, and am very grateful for all & any help that comes my way. I would like all BMD`s to this family as trying to trace roughly where they all lived as Jemima ended up in Newark Notts.

Thanks again
John
