Wow! The "James" has thrown me for a loop (in this long bunch of NMI Georges), but the wedding record, birth record, and death record are remarkable; I will send off for the hard copies to see how that all comes together. I do believe that William and Elizabeth were William's parents (and Harriet his sister), and I had identified Baptism Record No. 117173 in the Parish Records as a likely match for William, but no indication of "James" there, so didn't come up with a corresponding birth record.

A couple of questions:

1. I have ordered from GRO in the past. Is this where I will order the birth, death, and marriage records you have referenced?

2. Can you direct me to the proper location to order parish records, if that's possible?

3. I'm wondering, where did you find a reference to William's death being inscribed on Sarah's headstone in the Cuba Cemetery in Illinois?

Many, many thanks, slowhands, for all this wonderful information!
