but the dates do not add up for all the info to be right?
in the 1841 census (i think it was) john was 4 and mary 47 - meaning a 13 yr age gap
but for the marriage to william bristow there is a 10 year age gap between mother and son?
can these two still be linked?

do you have to pay on the ancestory site

thanks again every1 i cant believe how many replies i have had

Carla, I found most of the information on the Ancestry site and FreeBMD site.

If that is your John Pretty as a 'son-in-law' (probably stepson), then I think he is the son of Mary's first marriage. You will see Ricochet has shown a marriage between William Bristow (mis transcribed on the census as Briston) and Mary Petty.
