Thanks - yes this is my man but I can't take him any further back than his marriage certificate in 1876.

Jane, Just a suggestion, but if you post the census entry and all the info from the marriage registration (ages, occupations, locations, witnesses, parents) maybe someone will recognise it. The list is archived and searchable... someone could see it next year and connect. just a suggestion... that everyone should consider. don't just lurk, contribute. jd
