Yes - don't rush into this, there may be others...such as: Name: William Boulcot Year of Registration: 1841 Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep District: Hereford County: Herefordshire, Monmouthshire Volume: 26 Page: 164 That name ''Bincott'' isn't all that distinct. Christine

IGI.... M010724 STEPHEN TURNER Spouse: ELIZA BOWCOTT Marriage: 21 OCT 1850 Saint Martin, Birmingham, Warwick A possible??? You may be able to get a photocopy of the Parish Register page - usually cheaper, but certainly better (it's the primary source for anything else). Otherwise: Name: Stephen Turner Year of Registration: 1850 Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec District: Birmingham (1837-1924) County: Warwickshire Volume: 16 Page: 525 Eliza Bowcott Christine

Found these too But Patricia - you'd have much more fun on the IGI (http://www.familysearch.org) doing this for yourself! I used the Hugh Wallis pages http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers/CountryEngland.htm#PageTitle to be able to search for a surname in a restricted area - a particular parish... I did find these: Batch Number: C098671 Saint Marys, Handsworth, Stafford parents Stephen TURNER & Eliza Christening: 27 NOV 1853 ROBERT TURNER Christening: 06 JUL 1856 EMMA TURNER Christening: 17 JUL 1859 ELIZABETH TURNER Christine

There is this odd pair of records on IGI: Marriage: 10 OCT 1844 Great Kyre, Worcester Marriage: 18 OCT 1844 Great Kyre EDWARD BOWKETT Spouse: ELIZA BOUGH batch M041231 I don't know why this should apparently be a twice-married couple. When this happened in my husband's tree, the first marriage was by licence and the second by banns - so we imagine there was a problem with the first ceremony - possibly with the licence. In this case it's too close for banns to intervene, so ??? Christine

I cant keep up with you LOL

Presumably the first children were from the first marriage. Or... Either there are some coincidences, or Eliza appears to have been bigamous (except, I suppose that should be something like biandryous). I think you'll have to get a bit more census checking here. Eliza isn't that unusual a name. Maybe we're mixing up different people. Christine

I'm afraid I'm going to have to stop there. I MUST do some washing up - son's home and we need clean dishes and cutlery tomorrow! There are also some serious tidying tasks to be dealt with (tomorrow, I think!) - other son plans to bring significant other on next visit and house is seriously embarrassing. good hunting!
