Gosh Sue it does look like three marriage What a shame about the twins, Thank goodness medicine has advanced now,
We are having an awful time with connections it happens evertime it rains It looks Ann's brother Thomas was the witness he was married to Mary BUNCE, Now her parents were John and Mary LAY
John was the son of another John and Jane? Is there a marriage abet 1720 for a John BUNCE and Jane? in the OMI? It may well by Stanford in the Vale.     
Also is there a m for Thomas LAY and Susanna? abt 1724  probably in Wantage ?                             
I think I'll send for the Longworth and Stanford CDs this week then between us we should have most of the area covered
You have taken me on leaps and bounds Many thanks

  Not having much luck with these 2 marriages

 Will keep looking

 Hazel that would be really good if you can connect Charles and Martha?

All i have on Charles William is that he married Maud McMulllin in Wantage 21 April 1924 she was b 1899 so i expect he was BA bit before 1899 I'll have a quick look at the 1901 census

We have found a note which says Charles William was born 1903 how annoying he missed the census don't know why we haven't got his fathers name

[jamajo]

 Hazel i dont know if you have checked this but Free BMD gives Charles b Sep 1902

 Had no luck with the Lays or Bunce

 Marriages on Wantage PRs only go up to 1813 but will see if i can find Charles baptism

Sorry Sue I just got distracted by a contact through the web who grew up in our local cottage homes.
Yes I just checked the BMD for Charles' birth it would be great if he was baptised in the Church that would give us his fathers name. I'm not getting very far with Martha (Richard's wife) Is there any sign of a death for her or Richard? fingers crossed that could give us a rough DoB
