Hi All

Have today received the marriage cert of Mary Ann to John Vowles July 1863. It is stated that Mary Anns father is Robert Allen and his occupation is a games keeper, have been trying in vain to find Robert and any other children. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

it could be, I have her birth as, 1837 but looking "properly" at the census record below 1843 is more likely.

I must have my thick head on again !
