Referring to my previous posting, What would make me more certain about being correct in my research is finding marriage records that show Alice and Samuel getting married. That would seal the deal for me as far as being certain they are the right people, and if it showed their parents that would be even sweeter. When first doing research, I had an "aha" moment when I first found an Alice Entwistle (I never met any Entwistles and thought it was an unusual name). However, as I did more research I found that there were lots of Entwistles in England, especially in the area my family came from, and many many Alices as well. Another spelling for Entwistle is Entwisle, and there are two Alice Entwisles recorded in the birth index for March 1849 in Bolton, Lancashire, England. However, without having parent names it is hard to connect the dots with any certainty. Any suggestions on finding marriage records? Or birth records that show the parents names? Thanks again for whatever suggestions you may have to offer.
