Hi Lesley,
I am so grateful for both look ups .

I can now follow Jane Edwards who may be a cousin of my Gt Grandmother .

Both Jane and Robert Knight are witnesses at Mary Jane Edwards marriage in 1866 . Then on Mary Jane's death cert 1878 she registered her death claiming to be her sister, Mary Jane's husband being at sea at that time .

As for William Ockleshaw.....

well I was infomed by others who have him and Sarah in there Tree that his father was also a William, so I have a lot of corrections to be made on my Ancestry Tree .

Many Thanks again .

It was my pleasure Doreen

great to look up something that doesn't leave ME with more questions than answers

Good luck with the amendments
