Staffordshire, Bradley

It was indexed as Sapley, but I read it on both returns as Lapley.

Thank you very much

I notice Louisa as being the granddaughter of Richard in 1851.  did she have the last name of Merrick/s?  I would presume she is the daughter of another son named Thomas which I have not found any marriage record for as yet.

Louisa Merricks
Mother : Hannah Merricks

Great.
 I still have not found my way around the new family search site, back on training wheels with that one.

Thanks again
