I have posted on several forums re this query,( so many i have lost count of which ones!!!) but for some reason or another, have not had any suggestions, othr than well meaning people giving me info i already know and have preambled with. ( my thanks to them for their input)
So to keep things to a minimum this is my problem
1) i have traced my line back to a John Vale b 1792 in Buttsbury Essex
2) My line traces back to his second marriage in 1828
3) from info gleaned from censuses in 1871 and 1881 i have reason to believe (but no proof) that a John Vale b 1817 in either Stifford or Stanford-le-Hope is his son from a first marriage
4) as records commenced in 1837 i need to find
a) the first marriage details
b) John Vales (1817) birth details
A visit to the Essex RO drew a blank and the Mormon site details of the marriages of John Vales in that timescale ( 1810-1818) has also been discounted. Would appreciate any help/pointers on where to go next to prove/disprove the link
Thanks for reading
