Hello List: How do I confirm that I have found the correct parents?: Ancestor, John George Joyce chr. 1830 Houghton Le Spring. On 1841 and 1851 censuses, Bishopwearmouth with mother Jane Joyce and siblings. I have a copy of his marriage certificate from GRO 1854 which lists his father as Robert Joyce, (nothing indicating alive or deceased) occupation, Trimmer. 1851 census, Jane Joyce is listed as widow. I found a marriage (IGI) for Robert Joyce and Jane Dent 7 Dec 1824 All Saints, New Castle on Tyne. Date would be correct as the children were ch ristened, Jane, 1826, William 1827, John George 1830 and others until 1834. Any suggestions much appreciated. Regards, Jackie Southern California
