martha nealy and william sparks

[csc]

i have found 2 marys 1 priscilla and a shadrck born 1/1 1786 who fits in with the age of my shadrack who had grandchildren and g grandchildren with the name martha  i have found their marriage but i think they should have more children  especially a thomas who married mary bushby    the nealys appear to be a large family marthas birth should be abt 1745? has anyone else got nealys csc

Maybe a total red herring but Shadrack Sparks can't be as common as muck which is where I normally start off so in your search engine put 'bishops transcripts flimby' without the ' and on the cumberlandroots site you should find at least one as the father of David but married to Ann!!! If you shuffle about to other parishes in the area you might find others. Work has cut me off from playing so I cant help further but bishops transcripts for dearham etc will cover most of the area you want.
