First things first Craig - what brings you to the name Jane Garland in the first place?

Heya

I have had a email off a lady who is wondering if her Jane GARLAND and my Jane Garland are the same.

I am trying to see if they are but some things dont match up but a lot of other things do.

My Jane Garland married (or i think they did) a William STRANGE. I do not know the date and have been trying to look to find them but no luck. according to the 1881 census they both were born in North Petherton, Somerset. William born 1839 and Jane born in 1840. He was a cooper and she was a dressmaker.

I am wondering if anyone could possibly find a marriage for them? i would like to find a marriage cert. so i could find the fathers names and occupations.

Also I am wondering how many Garland families there were in the 1841 census for North Petherton, Devon. because i believe Jane's father was Charles and mother Ann but i am wondering if there is another Jane in the town...maybe cousin? born around the same time?

Thanks craig
