Thank you so much, Mike, for your suggestions. I will look into all of them. I was able to come close for a Thomas BROOKS/Elizabeth marriage. Extracted records on the IGI show one Elizabeth DAVIES who married a Thomas BROOKS in 1806 in Owestry and another Elizabeth PEELE who married a Thomas BROOKS in Shrewsbury in 1811. That's as close to home as I could find on the IGI site. Now...to get busy with your other ideas....thank you again, Barbara
