Hi Lisa,
Thank you for your PM
Many thanks for your reply. I am going to go with the David Ferris, born in 1806, parents Thomas and Sarah, but will have to find my David's marriage to confirm. He also named one of his sons Job, which appears to be a brothers name, but needs to be confirmed.
Son Job does sound promising ;D
Unfortunately if he was married before civil registration (Sep 1/4 1837) I am afraid his father will not be listed. You can hope that the witnesses may be helpful
There is a Marriage Licence Bond 16 Apr 1832 David FERRIS Bachelor residing Cirencester Gloucs and Anne BREWLEY spinster residing Bremhill Wiltshire to be married at Bremhill.
In 1841 they are in Trowbridge with sons Joseph and William. He is a Jeweller. I don't see Job to see if he is in the same line of work :'(
Cheers Kris :D
