Thanks to those who have helped me with material on William and William Vale KING. Now I would like help on the next member of the family I am looking for. This could be quite a mission!! The 1841 census has a Mary KING with a, probably rounded, age of 15. Now FreeBMD has a marriage of a Mary Doughty KING in the December Q 1845 in West Derby. I would lay a shade of odds that they are the same person, the family was living in West Derby in 1841 and some family members were still there in 1851 too. The 1841 Mary's mother was Mary DOUGHTY. The males on the same page were Murlaugh BYRNE; Robert J G JERVIS; Patrick RYAN and James WHITEHEAD; unfortunately there were two other Marys in the females. I wondered if anyone could help using the later censuses to find Mary (Doughty) with one of those surnames, especially if there was a KING living with them!! A long straw I know but here's hoping. Thanks Mike in Whakatane NZ
