Hi Sandra, Presumably you have the marriage certificate from the GRO? Try checking the local record wither at the church or local Register Office. There may have been an error made when sending in the copies to the Registrar.

Subsequent sightings confirm that he was born in Lindfield. The only David in the area and of the correct age can be found in the1841 Census. The Head of the household is Jesse Walder together with his wife Martha and several younger children. David's eldest daughter was named Martha, a Martha Walder (not the daughter) was present at the death of David's wife Selina (Guy). David's Marriage Certificate however gives his father as another David. What is the likelihood of there being a clerical error on the Certificate? Obviously possible but was this a frequent occurrence? Perhaps Martha was his mother, Jesse not his father. I am unable to find a David snr and have been unable to locate a baptism record for David jnr. I would be grateful for your t! houghts and any advice on this one. It would be so easy to accept Martha and Jesse as my gt.gt.grandfather's parents but ........
