Hello,]]I am baffled am stuck again. I wondered if you might be able to help.

Israel Babb 1839-1927, Elizabeth Beckham 1845-1929, Elizabeth Babb 1845-1929 are these two the same person? Elizabeth Babb 1879-1953, Israel Babb c1867-c1881, Job Babb 1883-1967, Elizabeth Babb 1865-?, and who is Elizabeth Slater c1840=c1871? The parents of the two Elizabeth's was John Bickham and Hester Durk. All from Taunton area. Help, help totally stuck.

John Wood

Marriage or Bann Date 4 Feb 1866
