Source: 1) Bedfordshire Parish Register (Bed 2, Vol 40) Notes: a) According to genRep jcw 10 gen.rtf, Thomas Spring (#192) and Sarah Bird (#193) were the parents of John Spring (#96) born 10 Jun 1787 in Goldington, England. And the endnote (as I understand it) is: ftw Bobby Spring Electronic. Everything fits with the Bedfordshire Parish Register, except, according to the record, both John Springs died. I figured it had to be one of the other sons of that family, but before I quit working on genealogy, I wasn't able to connect the dots. (In the 1960's, a person had to scroll through hours of microfilm to find anything). Another possibility, of course, is that the wrong child was listed on the register as having been buried. I don't think I misread the register, because I recall wanting to get the same answer you got.

Carol, I think this works. This means that John (b. 1810) is the son of James (b. 1784), not the son of John, who, as you ve pointed out, died in infancy anyway. Have you been able to find any corroborating evidence, rather than the process of elimination? I do feel we re on to something. Thank you for your help. I m going to make this tentative change, anyway, and reference this correspondence. Anything more on the family, like Lovey Cherry and her family? That makes her, and her ancestors, our ancestors too!! john
