   Yes some of my London ones did that in the early 1800's
  John Bargrove Liscoe
  George Welsted Liscoe
  Charles Pullen Liscoe
  Samuel Yetts Liscoe.

 So far though it has only helped me find one mother Mary Bargrove all the rest are out there somewhere.... maybe oneday

  hi Kirsty...

 Have found the details for Cicely  reg Plymouth 1869 4 qtr
                         VOL 5b page 261.

 Best bet is order certificate as it will give parents details... cannot tie in a marriage at the moment.

There is I think 1 marriage in Plymouth of a James Stewart in the period 1850 thru to 1861

Marriages Mar 1854
Stewart James Plymouth 5b 359
I think the second entry is a duplicate and states
Stewart James Plymouth 5b 389
you would need to send for the certificate and hope it shows wife Elizabeth

HI cornishpixie

I think I found your James in the 41 census with his parents and they lived, would you believe in Looe Street. Stewart is Transcribed as Steward and the house is a big one as according to the census image "Houses Inhabited" =1 and there are 25 occupants. Including a John and Mary Rice both 70, isnt there a Rice in 1 of your names?
