Isn't Down Ampney in Gloucestershire whereas Purton is in Wiltshire?

Does his 1878 marriage cert confirm his father's name was William?  what was fathers occupation?

hi
 yes
 i  have recently started researching this family,after a 15 year  search   to find out who elizabeth ricketts born 1895 was. and the trail has led me here .

the 1911 entry lists down ampney as wilts

i have just found a death for william 1854 son of william ricketts and anne maria powell

so william 1855 is  a brother of my husbands   gt granfather john ricketts 1860

john and wife ada emily watts
had a daughter elizabeth caroline 1893  cold ashton

for some reason she was brought up by her aunt  Sarah Watts ( sister to Ada emily) married to Edward Raymond Mead  and lived in london  they even refered to her as their daughter on 1911 census
the marriage cert for henry oliver and elizabeth katherine ricketts   listed her father as John ricketts   Cow Man

i looked at lots of records in and around london for her.
i am hoping to find some one who can confirm this  the same person



thank you

How has it led you to this family?  The 1901 entry has a daughter Elizabeth but she was 12yrs old - birth reg 1888

There is no Elizabeth Ricketts birth in Wiltshire between 1892-1896 but there is a Mary Elizabeth Ricketts born 1892 died 1894
