For three years I have been researching without the help of this excellent website.

It now appears that, in part,I may have been following the wrong line!

I now believe that Elizabeth WILCE's parents may be John BRADLEY and Leah BUFFIN and not as I originally thought James BRADLEY and Elizabeth DAVIS.

The Elizabeth WILCE that I am referring to was born in 1852/3 and married Levi WILCE in 1874.

Because the dates are so close, could anyone help me to decide which it is!
