Hi Kath

You will be better off starting a new Thread of your own on this John bn 1883 Cumberland as he appears not to be part of the family of this poster :-)

Looking for John Speight born Cumberland 1883 (though he sometimes says born Lancashire) Lost after 1905 when he was living in Cumbria. Before which lived in Lancashire. !! Regards Kathleen

great stuff kath will find the marriage for that one & look it up :-)

thanks kath
am greatful for any help given

***** forgot too say elizabeth/betty & maria are still with father vincent in the 1861 census *******************
so sorry for omitting that

:-\

I think the marriage for Judith is correct. She is on the 1851 census as Judith Gregson. On the same page on the marriage is a Samuel Gregson.

Possible
