Emily Hallamore Best was born 21 March 1839 (Gloucester) to William Best (Ropemaker) and Jane Best (nee Smith)
census info has William born in c1811 but unclear where...possibly Devon.
I believe his father was William Hallamore Best b 1779 in Barnstaple (and later married to a Louisa Gale in 1838...marriage certificate has him as a widower......) died 1863
I know that all of these are somehow linked as we have a family Bible with some details in
BUT
I can't find records of William Best's marriage to Jane Smith,
nor of his birth,
nor of William Hallamore Best's first marriage.......(presumably to William's mother)
anyone out there who can help?
any ideas appreciated!
thanks
