Sorry, I have to leave this for now - I really appreciate everyone's help - will be back later!

The date of Oct 1843 against Mary Jane Ann is her baptism date. It might be worth sending for the film of the baptisms to view at your local Mormon Church. The original may well contain a note of the date of birth. They don't always show dob but some do.

She could have been any age at baptism so it really is only an indication that she was born sometime before 20 Oct 1843.

Artbeat, I think you have found me 2 possible death dates for George Faulkner - why did these not show up on FreeBMD? Thank you so much - I won't feel so bad sending for 2 certs when they are such strong possibles!

And .........you are absolutely right. The marriage date for George Cole and Mary Ann IS 1852, which is what I have entered on BMDshare.com**. I apologise for misleading everyone on that date. I was looking at the cert itself, where the date is written oddly (very slopy writing), and it does look like 4 - some time since I have looked at it.

My heartfelt thanks to all of you who have taken so much interest!

** Not a scanned copy, but well worth anyone having a look at this site. If we all enter all our certs on here, the site will get better and better.

Your welcome christine,Don,t worry about the date you gave being wrong. We all make mistakes.
That to me just made it a good mystery to solve.

Perhaps you didn't look after 1842 as you thought the 2nd marriage was 1842.
