Hi Jean Sorry about the delay in replying. I was offline for a few days. Thanks for the info. Both William Marsh' (1780 & 1811) look right. The second entry seems to confirm that William married twice. I had previously discovered that he had a daughter Amelia by his wife Honor and a son William born abt 1843 to a William and Mary Ann Marsh. William (b. 1811) must have been the father of both of these children which is what I had suspected. I am very grateful for your help. Gill North Wales UK
