Have you found anything else in the past year?
My Kentish roots (Wood from Dover and Darby /Goldfinch from Deal) was stuck in 1846 with a marriage. I noticed that another user of 'myheritagefamilytreebuilder ' (it's free by the way unless you get complicated) had entered a date of 1816 for Martha Darby Goldfinch (before BMD records). I contacted him and he couldn't remember only that he had searched the internet.
I stuck in Martha's full name and you will find a Goldsack family tree that goes back to 1700 or so. returning to the 'myheritage' tree builder, I then traced Goldsack back via several more generations to William Wellard 1585. Everyone that uses this freesoftware creates a record (most of which everyone can see). so say you have a fred Bloggs born in 1856 in your tree, it will then show other tress with the same name and date and a % match. That way you can trawl from tree to tree.
