Hi,
Can you confirm the year....1886? Can't see any marriages for them. :-\ Did they marry in England/Wales?
There is a Thomas Couch/Dorothy Slade marriage but in 1786.........26 March 1786 at St Giles in the wood, Devon.

Thank you for your help on this, my mistake, it is 1786. What I'm trying to do is identify the parentage of Thomas Couch 1798 at langtree. I'm 98% sure it is James & Dorothy. The confusion is; did he have a brother James born 1789, both men moved to Lincolnshire and worked as millers at Tealby, Crowle & Claythorpe. I believe the relationship is brothers. However a James Couch was born to a Thomas & Dorothy in 1789. They may have been cousins. Both men married in Goulceby 1827 & 1829. I have all the information post 1827, but little prior to it. Its the James 1789 connection I'm after. I appreciate your help on this, as some of the parish stuff is lacking on ancestry.
