I wonder who Johns wifes name was before marraige. Seems I have Helen as his wife which was wrong. My third great grnny had a illegitimate son in 1800 and she married my third great great granddfather John Lane in 1802. Her name was Amelia Twells. Her son was baptised John Twells Lane, afterh the marrriage of Amelia and John.

Hello Philip Thank you for the suggestion. Helenor MEADOWS rings a bell with me, but not certain why. I have a thick pile of WRONG certificates but that one isn't in it. I've tried looking for her in the census, but can't find her. One of my biggest failings is have not started a file of Disproved possibilities. Something I have recently started, but should have don back in the mid 90's. I have a large number of girls that I have completely disproved and a lot that I haven't. They've just disappeared into thin air. As more data becomes available, hopefully they may reappear and I can prove that one is Gt Granny. Thank you again for your suggestion and your interest.
