    1. CROSS family - Ash Priors/Taunton area
    2. Greetings all. I'm going through one of my "have I spent the last ten years looking for the wrong family" moments: George Cross married Eliza Cridland at Ash Priors in 1840. On the marriage register entry his father is given at John Cross, but we have always assumed this to be a clerical error, and that George was actually the son of Thomas Cross of Babcary. HOWEVER - with the 1851 census now available online, the Babcary George is working in London and identifying himself as unmarried, whereas another George of the correct age turns up near Birmingham, as a widower: Eliza died in 1849, so this seems more likely. Does anyone out there have a spare George, son of John Cross, born circa 1818 in the Taunton area please?! Fingers crossed (I think....) Colin Hunt
