Hello again Lindsey and bingo same minds think alike
have been up all night yes I know but............. got it
all pieced together and it was the other way round but i got there in the end again thanks for your help just a little recap on Mr Jones

Charles Spittlehouse born 1797 all saints Leicester
parents Joseph and sarah
married
Ann Jarvis 1818 leicester

He died 1835 thats why I couldnt find him
she also had son Charles born1821 and Emma 1826

then she must have married spittlehouse or was living with over the brush(still looking for confermation) but i know this can be hard my gran Ann´s great grandaughter was born out of wedlock and im still looking for her father but I have a few clues so im doing that next. My tree couldnt be an easy one ......... but hey thats half the excitement

Not bad for a nights work! and a great big push from a helping hand in the right direction again thank you soooooo much

best wishes from a coffee´d out chain smoking really knacked woman

I thank you
Polly
