Hi Mary,

Thanks for your reply, this is the one i thought it could be, the only thing is i am looking for them to have had a son called James who married Grizel Waygateshaw............

there seems to be no record of this James which i know is a possibility as some records may not have survived or the birth may not have even been registered.

Thankyou

Have you searched on SP for them? I thinks you will probably have to be a bit "inventive" with wildcards, but it might be worth a try.
