William married my great-gr andaunt Abigail GENEVER in 1846 and it was the name of her daughter, Elizabeth that brought me to the COULBY family. Elizabeth COULBY VERNON’S name was in a letter my father had asking him to visit them on his way to France in 1916. I was able to tie her mother, Abigail, in my great-grandfather—her brother, Willi am. I can find no proof of this birth or date on Ancestry, Find My Past or Family S earch. The 1841 census shows a William COUBLY with wife Ann but this couple ap pears in later censuses. If SKS is going to the archives, I would greatly appreciate knowing if the pari sh records of St. Mary Magdalene in Newark support my record. I am rueing thos e early days of genealogy research without knowing what I was doing and just si mply making notes with no references. Many thanks, Carol Haycock in Denver, Colorado
