Geoffrey

You have obviously found your way back here , and managed to 'mark as answered'......however, some feedback ON THE THREAD would be appreciated

See the box below........................................

I am a novice at this site,I will, with a little forbearance master it.
The Joe ben in the above tree was the son of Esther 1839 but William is not mentioned on Joebens Birth certificate, William and Esther married some time later.
At the time of Joe bens birth Esther was a spinster and William had recently lost his first wife.
Joe ben was buried as Joe Ben Wilcock.
I am seeking to trace descendants of Seniors Born after 1863.
Hope you get this message Geoff.

Use freebmd to find info...........................

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

I've given you names...................look for them in 'search all trees'

And, if you can find a marriage for Esther and William, you have access to resources that I don't

Some comment on what I've posted would not go amiss

BTW....the reference to a 'father' on Joe Ben's marriage is clearly a face-saver - whoever he was, I doubt that his surname was Wilcock.
