Hi Michael, Thank you so much for writing and sending so much useful information. My Elizabeth SPRACKLING is proving to be a little elusive! However, it is good to be in touch with a member of the SPRACKLING family! I did have in some old notes a possible family for Elizabeth being a Jospeph and Sarah SPRACKLING who had a daughter about 1787, Christened in Winterbourne St. Martin on 4th March 1787. This is the nearest I have got to a possible family for her and it would mean she would be about the right age for her marriage in 1810 to Emanuel CHANNING. I am glad you mentioned Winterbourne St.Martin now being referred to just as Martin, I did not know that as I don't know the area. I have returned to researching this line after a long break and I have also found in my notes additional children for Emanuel and Elizabeth CHANNING, a William 1814 and Robert 1817 and a Maria also christened or baptised in 1822, the same as their son John. I don't know if they were twins or merely baptised together . Regarding Emanuel's second marriage, I have yet to discover the name of his second wife but I will be working on that later, my main thrust has been to track down more on Elizabeth SPRACKLING and hopefully to go back further with Emanuel, it is not easy, especially at this distance! Kind regards and many thanks your helpful note - you must let me know - are you on the same SPRACKLING line?? Elaine McLean Mission, BC, Canada
