Hi Nigel, Does your message indicate that you think the Francis who married i9n Islington is the son of John & Rose Anne, as the marriage entry in the parish register is: Name: Francis Twitchin Age: Full Age Spouse Name: Eliza Tidbury Record Type: Marriage Event Date: 14 May 1854 Parish: Saint Mary County: Middlesex Borough: Islington Father Name: Richard Twitchin Spouse Father Name: Peter Tidbury Bob Genealogy Web Database http://www.bobhutchins.me.uk Bob recommends Linux Ubuntu 9.04
