No problem Sue, I think that you have a very good case that this is your family, I would look at the marriages for the extended family to see if you can tie any of the witnesses into your search

Thankyou , have done so.                                                                                                     Regarding my pm this is the information I have trying to connect this family.             For other readers my ancestor is William b 1759 unknown died Birstall 1831 aged 72. Edward is the most likely candidate for Edwards father but I haven't been able to find evidence or for their origins.               An online tree has them being from Nottingham and William married to

someone in Nottingham . I have the following info on William , he married Mary Kilby at Birstall  27 nov 1783 witnesses Joseph Smith and Joseph Hudson. Their children were Mary 1785, Elizabeth 1791, Sopha 1795, William 1798 , Joseph 1799 ,Ammalishe 1800, Edward 1803 and Dorothy 1805. All born Birstall.   William snr buried 30.oct 1831 St James the Great. age 72.

I have checked the Nottingham marriage and that William seems to be 5 years younger than mine. Also checked two other possible William candidates one at Barkby but he married Mary Doubleday and one born Leicester 1760 but he died as an infant.                                                  Will be eternally grateful for any help please .

Thankyou Marg I wondered if Thomas is a brother too . I knew Ammalishe came from the Kilby side , there were 2 or 3 with various spellings. However I can't remember if the one you mention is a sister of Mary . It is twelve years since I was last capable of visiting LRC.
