thanks jean.....i use the csc site alot and i`m sure that s where i found daniels babtism....i get a little confused at times..i don`t find this research easy..maybe it was on their son thomas oakes babtism that i found `parents daniel and elizabeth`...so maybe i jumped the gun saying they were married at st oswalds church...i`ll check again ...i`m certain you`re right....otherwise i`d have elizabeths maiden name,wouldn`t i ?........regards...allan...added....jean..just checked csc site,and it`s thru the babtism of thomas oakes b1818 in neston that i have daniel and elizabeths names as parents..so i jumped the gun saying they were married at st oswalds...sorry to mislead you..i have so much in my head,i sometimes get mixed up..daniels babtism is on the csc site in st oswalds church,backford.....regards...allan
