Is this your Samuel Sladen here, Elizabeth?

Janet, thanks for the link. I had seen that before and wondered about it.

The dates are too late for that Samuel to be Elizabeth's father as she was born in 1796. I did wonder if perhaps she had a brother called Samuel, but I haven't found any other children for Samuel and his wife Mary around the 1790s. I'll have another look and see what I can find.

Sladen seems to be a common name in Lancashire, unfortunately.

Oh of course, silly me. I must have been dozing off by that time last night! :o

Not to worry, Janet, I appreciate your trying to help me.
Sometimes little things like this can lead to a discovery in a roundabout way.

True. Thanks, Elizabeth. :)
