Registration didn't start until Sept 1837, so there will be no certificate.

Do you know the names of any of the children for Wiiliam and Elizabeth?

There are several possibles in census records and childrens names would help narraow the search.

Hi Sam & Andy,

You're kidding - we have an LDS? Wow, never knew that! Great! Thanks.

Andy,
I know Rosetta is defiinitely one (she's my great grandmother). I found a tree on Rootsweb which listed a swag of kids - 6 others. I believe William's parents to be John and Charlotte nee Norman and Elizabeth's to be Thomas (Packham) and Elizabeth nee Baldwin. I just like to get a second source to validate the info I already have. Hate finding out I've got the wrong one after I've put it on my tree.

Regards
Al

From the detail in the census, this could be Elizabeth to confirm your research

Hey thanks Andy,

Why didn't I think to look up the IGI? Must still have "chemo brain"! Thank you for the Census also. Every man's dream, having the mother-in-law live with you!!

Thank you for your invaluable assistance!

Just re-read the LDS address. Good grief, my aunt (from the Woodgate/Peckham side) lives in Talbot St!! Not that Rocky is big, but still - that's amazing!
