Thanks Lindsey, there's another son there I didn't know about (William)

I think I have found Edwin's marriage to Elizabeth Spetch in 1859.

Oh my gosh! Hope they had a big house!

It's that great that you have them all together and with the father in law too.

That is such a help I really appreciate it.

Many thanks

Thanks Lindsay, I may have to order that certificate as I cannot find any baptism for Edwin.

It would be so great to find David Spetch's parents on an 1841. I believe they are James and Mary Spetch.

Thanks again Lindsay, I've seen some other members on site with David Guest 1816 in their tree and I suppose they took his birth year from this census.
