With a lack of MEDLEYs but plenty of WEDLEYs on the LDS site in the right parish, I think you have found the reason why I wasn't finding information on Charlotte. I am very grateful for your help. Karen Would it be possible to post the 1861 information please?

Thank you all so much. LEAKE, - I hadn't thought of that variation but every thing here would fit with what I know, as Charlotte was remarried( to John HARDING) and in Ince in Makerfield in 1891. Thank you for the WEDLEY information. What do I record her as MEDLEY or WEDLEY, I wonder? I found a Daniel PEAK, a sawyer in America in 1880 on the the LDS site. Do you think it could be the same person?

Daniel PEAK and Charlotte, formerly MEDLEY had twin sons in December 1862 in Herefordshire. They died at a few days old. I have Charlotte in 1871, 1891 1901 census, but where is she pre 1862. ...In census she is shown as b.c. 1837 in Newent, Gloucestershire..... Can anyone help with a birth or marriage, please?
