Hi treddz
So we don't go off and duplicate what you already know, do you have dates & places for baptisms, marriages and burials already?
Even in the 1600/1700's Lond on was a 'big' place. What part/parish are we looking in?

Samuel Wolfe was born in 1655 in Saint Dunstan in the East.
Mary De Voll I don,t know where abouts she was born ???.
There son John Wolfe was born in 1685 at St. Stephens Coleman Street London.
He married a Lydia Ball in 1708 at St. James Place.
There son William was born 1714 in St. Giles Cripplegate London
he married a Mary Gust 1718 in 1735 in Westminster.
Any ideas will be a great help to get a closure on my Mother's Ancestors.
Thank you :)

Have just discovered one of my Gt gt gt grandmothers is Anne Wolfe, daughter of a Samuel Wolfe Anne married Henry Buckley on 3rd November 1810 at St Mary's Church Lambeth.

Is this the same Samuel as the above? The dates don't seem right?

Hi SMF
You'll have to work back another 200 years to know whether they are related.
If they are related maybe tredz will come back and tell you.

Anne Wolfe was baptised at St Giles Cripplegate on Aug 1st 1788 so we seem to be in the same area!
