Thank you, I'll have a read of that.
Yes, I found his parents were Robert and Mary, I have no maiden name for her and I have no dates of birth for either.
Then when I was searching I think Robert and Mary also had 2 other children, Ann (b.1770) and Rebecca (b.1775) but I'm not sure, but then I'm sure Robert was married previously to a woman named Ann and they had 1 daughter Mary! I'm really not sure on it all though.
Julie.
