The simple answer is that you never *know* By obtaining marriage parish records for the children, there may be clues within the witnesses. From early census records, again there may be clues. Sometimes it is a question of checking baptism, marriage and burial records to see if the full information (as opposed to an index) gives any extra information Linda & Tony -----Original Message----- From: hampshire-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:hampshire-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Carlene Gapper Sent: 10 April 2010 00:33 To: Hampshire Subject: [HAM] William HIGGS & Lettice GREENWOOD Hi List I have a brick wall which I am tiring to breakdown. William HIGGS married Lettice GREENWOOD in 1789 at Aldershot. The following children were baptismed at Aldershot John 1794, James 1796, George 1797. Another child Sar baptismed 1789 at Ash and William 1791, Farnham. My question is how do I know from parish records that I have the right information. Carlene Gapper
