Hi John Anything is possible and I knew that asking the question was going to be a long-shot! I get really frustrated that marriage certificates only include the father's name. What about the mother?? I have no idea who William's mother was and until such time as I find that out (which, frankly, I doubt I ever will), I won't know if either of the gents you've listed is my ancestor. William and Mary Ann's (whose mother was named Sarah) first daughter was named Ellen, so I don't know if that is clue.
