Sorry, can't work out what you are asking

What is the date/location of Levi's birth?

I imagine this is the family in 1871 - slight difference in the spelling

You need to look for the marriage of John and Jane - don't rely on what you've been 'told' - base your research on proveable facts

Can you use capitals where they should be used as it would make this a lot easier to read.

You won't find a birth - the best you can hope for is a baptism - and KENT is not very well covered on the IGI

So it seems Amos was born a Balchin & didn't just become one
_____________

this is becoming too confusing

Can't find a marriage but if they were only living as man and wife perhaps thats why the boys went back to the name of Balchin after they were told by their mother???????????

Mrs Grumpy 2010 amos balchin and skinner were my mum and dad he was born 1901 reigate.They wed in 1926. The AMOS 1860 redhill was his dad wed my nan in 1910 after my dad was born .Dont know the Amos from Dorking.

What is sooooo annoying is that there are three Jane Balchin's born about the right time in Surrey and I thought it was an unusual name!!!!!
