I have John Heywood c1826 as the start of my family tree, and am now trying to find his father. I have a few 'hints' but cannot clarify their accuracy. He was married in 1850 at Cathedral Parish Church to Alice Heaton. How would I go about finding out who his parents were? I have had 'hints' that it could be John Heywood c1800 married to either a Martha or an Alice, or William Heywood c1794 married to Mary Maria Nayler. I don't live local, so cannot get to check things in person.
Thanks in anticipation, Kath
