Hi Alli,

Thanks so much for that. Are there any details for William's parents please, apart from their names that is? I've been looking for this family for some time as they are from the East Orchard /  Child Okeford area. I recognise some of the siblings but hope finally to be able to assemble them together as a family on the family tree.

Best wishes

Hi Alli,

Thanks for that. I have both the brothers in my database and had a partially constructed list of the children which your list of baptisms extends. Looks like the sons John and William had married and left home by 1841. Looks like John the father and Elizabeth must have married about 1813/14. I have Elizabeth recorded as being born about 1792. John must have died before 1841.

Best wishes
