This might be the marriage to Jones.


If Charlotte didn't marry until 1865..........it would seem that Rachel, leonard, and Barnard were born out of wedlock.

Hi Nola,

It may be helpful for you to put the name Varley and Macclesfield into the SearchTrees box above. There are quite a few members with that combination in their trees. If you find a connection, you can contact the tree owner. Regards. Cx.
