A fair Question, The reason for the confusion on my part is the fact that Aunt Evelyn had placed David James' Birthday as 1820, I am of the thought that she had possibly typed his date of birth from 1826 incorrectly, as a 6 can sometimes be written with a short tail and appear as a 0. However, I do question my own theory, which I had not explained in detail, that Thomas had adopted "Caxton David" from a relation such as a brother, etc. Thomas is clearly indicated as his father in the certified copy of entry of marriage that I have. "Caxton David" had a father by the name of Robert, and mother by the name of Anne Evans. "Farcet David" has a father by the name of Thomas, and if my research is correct a mother by the name of Ann Merrill. Since there is no record I have yet discovered that proves "Farcet David" was baptized with Thomas and Ann, I am left to question the fork in the road until I purchase the CD records of the parish. If you have another idea, I am all ears. I have to say that I am impressed with Cambridgeshire and there work towards preserving family records, having this marriage copy brought me closer to the truth. I just have to keep at it...
