basing this on the age of oldest kid in 1901, they prolly married late 1870s ..... need to scout around for a marriage if Emma doesnt show up in Devon in the 1871 census ....

A likely marriage of Henry Ackland has 2 female names not yet transcribed, so that maiden name will have to be sought by other means

thanks a lot newfy, looks like I am at last getting close to my other half (splottboy) he was streets ahead at one time, and if I had waited for him I would still be in the 19hundreds. any chance of finding maiden names of  henry acklands wife, harriet, and his father (hugh) wife mary, then I,m back to what looks like the late 17hundreds. as hugh I think was born in 1796, wow that would be real one upmanship. thanks in advance.
