Hi Trish & Garstonite,
If you start looking at children it all starts to get rather complicated.
My direct ancestor was Richard Humphreys. He was born in Ludford in 1835. I have his baptism record confirmed and his parents were living at Saltmore. Now after extensive research I believe the Ludford baptism to be his even though it gives the father's name as Richard. I think this may have been a clerical error.
I too thought that Elizabeth (1832) could be the one in Richard's Castle as it's 1.2 miles from Ludford. I have not been able to find Ellen's baptism.
In 1841 they are in Cold Weston. In 1851 Edward is still in Cold Weston living next door but one to Richard (his son's) future family (the Medlicotts).
Unfortunately, this still doesn't get me any closer to finding Edward and Mary's marriage.
There is a possible marriage in Ludlow in 1827 to a Mary Hughes, but how can I find out if this is the right one?
