Hi, Trying to find some info of John Marley b abt 1795. He married Sarah Sparks and they had 5 children all born in Bampton, Devonshire, England. James 1816 Elizabeth 1818 Harriet 1823 Charlotte 1826 Eliza 1829 Harriet married William Sherris of Scillys, Cornwall Charlotte married Richard Sherris of Scillys, Cornwall Eliza married Edwin Sherris of Scillys, Cornwall In 1856 John Marley was part owner of a ship with Richard Sherris and Harriet Sherris. He was living on Tooley St. in the borough of Southward at the time. I still am trying to determine where Southward is but would guess it is in Cornwall or Devonshire. Any info or connections most welcome! -- Jane in Vancouver, BC, Canada mailto:jsherris@lightspeed.bc.ca Jane's Genealogy Site: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/9402/index.html ********************************************************** Researching Surnames: PLAYLE (anywhere!)
