Hallo "Midland",
I know that this is about 4 years after you requested info on William Hicks and Mercy (or Mary?), but as I have just looked on the same site for info about the same person, - William Hicks of 1793, - I wonder if you still look on this very informative site of the forest of Dean ?
Or if anyone else would have any more info on this William Hicks, and in particular his ancestors, and one of his sons, John Hicks, born 1819 or 1820, whom I think is my great grandfather, as long as he (John), had a son called Alfred John Hicks, who I know to have been my grandfather.
Hoping someone can help,
Kind regards,
Fredbear fr .

Thank you so much for such a quick response and so much information. I was obviously a few years out on their marriage. That sets a whole new light on my tree. I was looking for John Hicks born about 1819 father William and as I thought mother Mercy. Now seeing the 1841 census you posted, that there is a John in the family born about that time. Could it be that Mercy was William's second wife, was John born before they married, or could he be another relative?

William Hicks born 1794.I have been trying to find confirmation of his marriage to "Mercy" probably in 1818 in Ross Herefordshire. The only William Hicks I can find on this site at that time is married to Mary. I have also tried th I.G.I. site.I would be most grateful for any help.
