Thanks all

I have found all these records and I personally think it must be the Marsh Davies born 1768 - as all his children were born in Knutsford - I don't think it is the one born 1811 - fanny named most of her children the same names as her siblings.

Reggie the witnesses were William Holt and I can hardly see the writing but it is maybe June, Ann Wright.
Without the mothers name will it be impossible to match it?

Thanks again for your help

You're right Jill.........I didn't do the maths!

Alternatively, this one is in the right place in 1841...........

I think the 1851 Marsh Davis that Reggie found is more likely to be a brother.

Interesting name.

Do you already have these in 1841?

You won't be able to find her birth.......too early.

If you're lucky, you may find her baptism on Parish records.
