Ok, this is the line I was chasing but was not sure if it is right. Hhmm I wonder??? Also why special license.

If it is that Richard, I have his parents as William Ludlow & Ann Hawes. This is my dilema which ones are correct

It would seem to me to be highly likely that what you have is correct, but, as you say, it would be nice to be sure!

Purchasing the marriage certificate for your Richard and Elizabeth GRAY may help, as it should give you the name of Richard's father.

Re the Special Licence - JM will know more about this in NSW than I do.

Death certificates are often incorrect as the informant is often a generation younger and is thus not acquainted with the parents of the deceased, nor of the early life of the deceased, so the record showing his father as Richard may well be incorrect, or it may have been his second name.

I am assuming that, as you already have names for the parents of Richard W LUDLOW that you also have a baptism and the 1841 census entry for them?  If not I'm happy to post them for you.

Too many Richards and Williams in different order makes it confusing!

Thank you Judith,

I think I will start with the Marriage Certificate of Richard James & Lucy Marion as I know that to be correct.

Yes, I have assumed (wrong I know) that Richard's second wife may not have known who his parents were.

I do have a Baptism of the Richard I am questioning with a date of 5th Feb 1834 St. Alphage Greenwich Kent.

I do have alot of info on this family but I am not willing to accept it yet. I have gone down the wrong track before and have just ended up confusing myself more.

Thank you for helping

I think that's the best thing to do.  You probably know that using a transcription agent is quicker and cheaper than ordering from the NSW BMD  direct. 

It may also give you some information on Elizabeth's origins.  I don't have much experience with Scottish family history!

Please let us know when you get some further information.  Good luck with it
