Thanks Judy for the info - that does all tie in - but shall have to investigate the Sarah baptism. "Do you happen to have a JESSE and NEELIE GREEN who appear as witnesses on my grandparents marriage certificate 1924 Ross? Do not know if Jesse male or female." Patsy - I haven't much info on the Greens as I wasn't sure how Maria fitted in. There were quite a few Green families in the area. I have found in my tree that Jesse was male and Jessie female but of course that is not taking into consideration people not knowing how to spell it! Linda
