Lara


teh only way you can see who actually married who, and thus be absolutely certain that you are following the correct family, is by buying the actual certificate


anything else is still conjecture.

Thank you. Yes you are right,I will get the cert.
I wanted to make sure it was the right marriage though.
I knew William's wife was named Susannah and their rough ages through the census but didn't know when or where they married , so couldn't be sure that the one on Freebmd was the right one.
From the info Maddie supplied,I am sure it is
