Evening folks..

The females in my tree Alice Prestwich 1806 Sister Elizabeth c1809 I believe to be the children of John Prestwich and Mary. I have no marriage for John to Mary. Nor births for John and Mary to prove they are in fact the childrens parents. I am related to Elizabeth who is married to John Ratcliffe. They are my 4x great grandparents.

Thanks
