Hi guys, me again!

Doing my husbands family tree I have hit a wall. His 3x great grandfather Richard Stephens, it appears his father is John. Now I'm getting hits for John being born in 1754 which is ok, but he wasn't married until 1797 aged 42. Now I know it isn't unheard of but "normally" they marry a lot younger. The thing is, I can't find anything on him to suggest a previous marriage. The marriage record isn't much help, there's no age, fathers name or status on it. HELP!!

The Witnesses don't have any familiarity to them.

He was living in Helston at the time of marriage.

I can't find any of the children Jane had on the 1861 or 1871 census

Who are the witnesses on the marriage cert? They might be related. Is there an address on the cert?

There are 2 more baptisms the following year in Breage to an unmarried Jane Williams - 13 July 1855 Louisa & James Henry. There's a birth reg for James Henry with no mother's maiden name indicating he was also illegitimate, but not one for Louisa so she may be older. Mother's address Union House as it is on Thomas John's baptism.

Hi everyone. I'm really stuck doing my husbands tree and need some help. I have a Thomas John Williams, born about 1853 in Breage. His marriage certificate just has a line under Fathers name so I assume this means he didn't know one. I've found a baptism in 1854 to a Jane Williams but...
1. I don't know how to confirm this is him as there are more than one Thomas Johns!
2. If this is him, how do I find anything about Jane?

Thanks in advance for any help

Hi, does anyone know how I can get hold of information from the 1970s? I have the names of 2 brothers and I know 1 of them was in the army but I can't find which one. Tia

Hi, me again!

I'm hoping one of you geniuses can help me.

I have a marriage between William Williams and Catherine Rosewarden* 27/07/1728 in Breage. The trouble is I find it could be one of 2 Williams, one born in 1697 and one 1704. I've no idea how to work out which one it is
