Well I wonder why that didn't show up when I looked for Richards in Leicestershire! Now its starting to make sense. Mary was actually born in 1809 (not 1822!), and her father is Richard Price, so that means the marriage in 1830 is correctly Richard and Mary's. All the kids ages here match up perfectly with the records that I have found for the family. I love when a family starts to come together! And to have a lead on the mother's family...how unusual for me! Thanks Nivard!

Hi Concetta I was wondering why you thought he was 65 on the death you mentioned But see why now Deaths Sep 1857 Stanley Richard Ashby de la Zouch 7a 65 You are misreading the page reference I think 7a is the Volume and 65 the page Age at death was not recorded in the GRO indexes until 1866 Before 1866 the only way to find the age at death is to buy the certificate, or find the burial or a will Just thought I would mention it for future reference Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 22/01/2014 19:24, Nivard Ovington wrote: > Hi again > > 13 Aug 1857 Richard STANLEY 59 Leicestershire Whitwick, St George > > 24 Dec 1858 Mary STANLEY 50 Leicestershire Whitwick, St George

That would make sense, wouldn't it? Clearly I recorded that one in a hurry... Cheers!
