Good Afternoon
I have a will for a James Bonney born c 1743 yeoman from Kirkham dated 1779. James married Lucy Hardman 19.7.1763
The will includes the following :
Henry Browns children (Henry is noted as brother in law) Who did Henry marry ?? No dates given I can only presume that Henry would have married round about the same time as James ??
James
Richard
Margaret
Ellen
Elizabeth
Also mentioned as brother in law is Thomas Helms and Thomas,s daughter who is named as Ellen Smith
No marriage found for either Thomas Helms or his daughter Ellen
Can any one help to find these marriages please
Thanks Margie
Henry Brown Kirkham

Re: Henry Brown Kirkham
Thank you for your help,
I think the 1730 marriage is far to early for the one I am looking for but I appreciate you looking for me.
Thomas Helm yes that could be the one now to find the connection between Thomas & James.
Best Wishes Margie
