HELP! I'm in the 'DARK'!!!

[Trees]

Hi Jo, I have the James Bale and Mary nee DARK children but nothing about her before the marriage I have her age from her Memorial stone and 51, and 61 censuses as about 1796 and her place of birth from the same sources as Woolfardsworthy (West). So I would love help in finding her parents and if possible baptism and siblings.
I also have a Grace DARK born about 1825 in Abbotsham she married Joseph BALE again I have their family and know from the marriage that her father was John DARK a labourer
Hope you can help  . if you would like the data of them after marriage let me know.

Hi MMMandy & Trees
Firstly Mandy, I am sorry but I can not find anything for you at the moment, except I can confirm that Joseph & Mary Dark(nee Pooley) did Not have a son called Joseph.
I wish you luck with you DARK research- they really are a confusing lot because of the common usage of names. After 10 years I am still trying to work out some of the relationships
I also apologise for having hijacked your posting - I have sent a PM to Trees with the info on Mary Dark.

Hello again,

I have now obtained a copy of the Marriage Certificate of Joseph Dark and Jane Dark who would appear more likely to be the parents of my Annie/Ann, and both resided in Buckland Brewer (her birthplace) at the time of their marriage. They were married at the Register Office in Bideford on 3 January 1855. Joseph was aged 25, a farm servant, and no father's name was given. Jane was aged 20, a glover, and her father's name was John Arnold, a bargeman. The witnesses were Thomas Snell and John Parr. Can anyone help to find the name of Joseph's father and let me know any more about Annie/Ann please?
