I have no idea where david was, thats why i cant find him. i only know his name because of margaret living with her parents at the time and then finding a relevant marriage at the right timing. I have looked, but its quite hard. perhaps he died soon after? |

I know you may not want to hear this, but if you bought the marriage cert and it has a father and age for David then you might be able to trace him in 1861 and thereby pick up his place of birth, which might help loads!! Another £7 ...... lol Sarah |
