Good luck with your research,

Thank you so very much Maureen I think all of the information that you wonderful people have given me will keep me quiet for the near future. I have worked hard on finding the Hicks family history and got stuck but hopefully I can now put the pieces of the puzzle together.

Once again a very big thank you for all of your help

Chris :)

Thanks for the replies.
When I pposted my exquiry yesterday I did not expect such a great reaction from you all. It is the first time I have asked for any help (I did not know the help was there) so was not sure how much detail I should put. I am going to soldier on and cross reference the info I have been given.

Just thought I would update you I have just received the marriage certificate of william hicks and Mary Ann Anthony I am unable yet to find her birth, her fathers name was James Anthony and her was a blacksmith. I have also found another family whick has Hannah,Catherine and William Hicks but the mother is Elizabeth.

Chris

Can't find a baptism for Mary Ann with father James but wonder if she could be linked to this family and mother Elizabeth re-married.

The Bland family appear again in 1851 with father now named Nicholas but no Charlotte and Mary present.

There was another child James Bland b 1844. I note that Mary Ann and William used the same names for some of their children.
