Hi List - I'm back again I owe very many thanks to Nikki, who painstakingly hunted for my missing WILLSON/SMITH marriage. We think it has been found in Saint Ives in June 1862. In my ignorance I thought St Ives was in Cornwall :<)) While waiting for the certificate to wend its way to the Antipodes, it crossed my mind that Thomas WILLSON and/or Mary Ann SMITH might be found in Saint Ives in the 1861 census. I have no idea if this is an impossible task to ask anyone, but if someone is trawling through St Ives and comes across either of these people I'd be ecstatic to have the details. Thomas would have been around 20 I think, so I guess Mary Ann would have been around the same age. Oh joy, a major brick wall might be about to crumble !!!!!! Gail in NZ
