Berry,
That would be most generous of you.  I've sent you a PM (Personal Message) with my e-mail address.
Now to find that pre-1835 Thomas RILEY/Jane SEAMAN marriage...

Hi,
long time no see!!
Im afraid even after all this time i have still got no further with jane riley and her first 'husband' thomas. there was never a census with him living with her and no sign of a marriage. i suspect they could have been from the travelling community and if this is the case may not have actually been legally married. I wonder if thomas was made up? On some of her childrens marriage certs he is dead but then a few years later he isnt! All very frustrating and im not sure it is a mystery that will ever be solved

I've heard of some other woman visited by an angel who told her she would be with child - nice to think I could've evolved from such a union.

I found lots of Thomas Rileys in Nottinghamshire, maybe Jane shared one of them with her friends? She didn't get to travel far from East Retford, going by the census notes, apart from being born in Ireland, of course.......allegedly.
