A bit of a potential problem brewing.
I have Harriet Stephenson c1804 married to Joseph Crompton c1801 in 1821.
Harriett was from Gildersome, Yorkshire.
I have just been scanning the 1841 census for potential parents until I can get a parish record for her birth.
I have a choice of 2 families, parents names for both are Matthew and Sarah Stephenson.
If I do get a record of her birth and it says parents are Matthew and Sarah, how will I know who is who.
No parents listed on marriage entry.
Hopefully the parents will be someone totally different.
