Sally, You're a star! Thank you SO much. Dawn also thought Guyhirn. The baptisms are marvelous. Alfred & Mary Alice are the right family! Mary Ann & Mary Alice are names that run in the family (my GGM -James Frederick's daughter was Mary Alice too). Thanks again, have a wonderful weekend. Sherry I suspect the area that William is from is Guyhirn, which is about 5 miles from March, Cambridgeshire. March is also covered by the North Witchford registration District. As to the child born in Clerkenwell, I found this on Ancestry.com ... Name: William Gathard Record Type: Baptism Birth date: 26 September (presumably 1841) Date: 17 Oct 1841 Father's Name: William Gathard Mother's Name: Mary Gathard Residence: 165 Saffron Hill Father's Occupation: Labourer Parish: Saint James, Clerkenwell Borough: Islington County: Middlesex Note in margin: Very Poor EB (presumably Edward Bull who officiated the ceremony) These children may or may not also be connected to the family: Alfred Gathard, Baptism 29 Jan 1860, William Gathard, Mary Gathard, Saint Marylebone Westminster Mary Alice Gathard, Baptism 29 Jan 1860 William Gathard, Mary Gathard, Saint Marylebone Westminster Hope something in there helps, and I'd feel reasonably sure that you have the right marriage certificate details, so apply for it and keep your fingers crossed that the Royal Mail gets its act together soon.
