Evening folks..

The females in my tree Alice Prestwich 1806 Sister Elizabeth c1809 I believe to be the children of John Prestwich and Mary. I have no marriage for John to Mary. Nor births for John and Mary to prove they are in fact the childrens parents. I am related to Elizabeth who is married to John Ratcliffe. They are my 4x great grandparents.

Thanks

Another one for Elizabeth, same baptism day but this one says born 1807. (Would mean a mere 10 months after birth of Alice)
