Can I have you opinions please, and suggestions too. Sorry to be so long wnded.
The story so far.......
I have tracked the Presley family back using the online IGI records and the BIVRI indexes on Ancestry (are the England and Wales Christen ing REcords1530 - 1906 the same as the BIVRI cos thats what I mean) to a marriage of John Presley and Mary Cooper on24 December 1728 at Cuckney, Nottinghamshire (batch M054142 )
A submitted entry suggests that John's parents were Edward and Elizabeth, and that John's age at marriage was 23
Batch no C047292 gives a number of children born between 1694 and 1710 in Cuckney with father Edward, however there is no John included.
I can't find a record of a marraige for Edward and ELizabeth.
There is however a baptism for an Edward on the BIVRI (ancestry version) in Cuckney on 22 Nov 1668, who would appear to be about the right age and in the right area to be the father of John above.
It does raise another question though. This Edward is given as the son of Houmfrey Presley acording to the BIVRI. Houmfry Presley is not mentioned on any other records, and alll other baptisms of Presley's in Cuckney around that time give a differnt father's name. So was Edward an only son
Thanks for looking
