	It's unwise to assume and could be very costly in time and money if you spend ages following the wrong line. If you bought the marriage certificate of Rosannah and George, you would get their fathers 'names and occupations and hopefully be then able to find the family in census. Witness names may also prove to be a big help. Gwyn

	Never assume. Have you acquired the marriage cert? Could be clues on there like witnesses, father's occupation etc. Work backwards from what you can prove.
