Hi All, Thank you to everyone for their input regarding my query on this family. Though I must say I didn't mean to start an argument on the term son-in-law. I know it can have the meaning that we associate with it now and also mean the son of the wife. I was just trying to find out if anyone owned this family and could tell me if the wife was indeed Mary MARTIN prior to her marriage. It would save me barking up the wrong tree if it was not the case. I guess I'll just have to save my penny's and order the marriage certificate. Thanks again everyone. Anne Brisbane, Australia
