Posting the names etc of her children is unnecessary..........and an invasion of their privacy, particularly in view of the circumstances

Nadine

Children removed.

Does anyone know how i could confirm the correct marriage of Betsy's parents from the 2 listed above other than purchase the records?
I've searched Ancestry for a baptism certificate but no luck..

Thank you, Nadine, for removing the details

You could check freebmd for Colclough/Webb births.

See which locations they are in and do some cross-referencing.............and eliminating.

EDIT

I've looked..........

There is one in Stoke in the same qtr as one in Watford, so that's a start

BUT......as always, her birth cert is the way to be really sure

check Roberts death in 1986 it will state his age,,,,,,,Betsey Lousia died in 1995 both in Watford...

From Roberts age at death its possible then to work out a birth area from a search list.

You really should invest in the marriage cert.

That will give you factual info........speculation is unwise, to say the least
