Ken - I'm pretty sure the opposite is true, unless the rules have changed.

This would be a great one, Colin. :)

Love 'em all, Wendy. Very clever. A great find.

How right you are, Natalie! My earliest Stokes grandfather has remained exactly where he was (with only his proven death date) since 1985 on my tree. Other 'cousins' have added fathers for him that...

I have to agree, Wendy. I loved Legacy when I first got it - as I thought the source writer would be a boon. It turned out to be over-complicated in the end. So I went back to Family Historian.

Love 'em all. And Nicolina - that was great too! :)

I started out thinking I could do a generic one for all churches, Lesley, but soon found out that it was best to set one up for each separate church and event - i.e. one for Cheadle St. Mary,...

Gill - it is unlikely that a marriage licence will give you the parents' names, but of course the marriage certificate (if it is post-July 1837) should give you the two fathers at least. Fingers...

BeaBear - I have several great-uncles who volunteered for WW1, all between the ages of 30 and 40. One of mine even lied about his age, saying he was 37 when in fact he was 43, bless him. As to how...

Zen, you can add your own sources to your Ancestry Tree. It's a slog, of course, because you have to put each one in by hand - for instance 'Cheadle Parish Registers, etc. etc.' but when they are in...

Steve's post reminds me also.... Find My Past were advertising on my FB the other day, saying they were making some more Yorkshire PRs available. You would not have believed the ungrateful comments...

Indeed! Here's looking at you, Charles Pridgeon - may you rest in peace, you wonderful, wonderful 2nd cousin, who travelled to dusty archives in Lincolnshire back in the 80s. That line of my family...

In answer to your Hardy/Harding question, Jack - I have the utmost sympathy. My user name is derived from my great grandmother Marian Harding of Malton, Yorkshire who used to be a mammoth brickwall....

Sorry, Jenn - the Thomas James I was looking at was still in NZ (Arapohue) in the 1880/81 rolls, when your ancestor was already in the States. But I'm not entirely sure it is the same man in the...

There is a baptism of Thomas James Sutton in 1834 at Manchester Collegiate Church - son of James and Frances. I'll dig about a bit, Jenn and let you know if it pans out.

ETA: Ack, no. It would...

Thanks for these suggestions, Anne. I too had wondered about him having another family - 'one in every port' and all that. The only thing is - would he have lived openly in Liverpool? I've seen...

Quite simply, Gill, you won't know which IS the right one if there are two such Hannah Dancers marrying two James Greens within your timeframe and location. We've all faced this at some stage or...

Sue - that's exactly my line of thinking too. Especially as his own father seems to think there is a chance he's dead in August 1830.

I had thought of that, Ken, but Thomas Guy died on dry land of dropsy and was buried in 1836 at the Necropolis Cemetery. So if he went off with Tom, he returned OK.

Val's Granddaughter is moi, Asherman - hehe. :)

Thanks for this Raffaele - it hasn't escaped my suspicions that Martha may have either lied, or it was wishful thinking. Poor love, she ended up with another bad 'un too in her Edward Everall, it...

Thanks, Coromandel - that is the image I already have saved to my computer for 'further research'. But of course, if this WAS to be my Tom then what of Martha's second marriage as a widow. Does...

Thank you all for your suggestions. Terry - you are a darling for finding that burial of little Frances. I had trawled through very many registers at Liverpool library but never found it. However,...

I've deliberately avoided posting this particular brick wall before because I am pretty sure it will forever remain unbreakable due to lack of available records, but I think I owe it to the wonderful...

That's brilliant - something concrete to start with. Let us know how you get along with the other certificates. :)
