Ancestry trees!!!

[Thomasin]

Someone has kidnapped my great great grandfather in Lambeth and married him off to some strange woman down in Sevenoaks!

They also have him leaving a Will - this person left over £11,000, a sum which my hawker/greengrocer/coal merchant/general dealer ancestor could only dream about.

Hi Thomasin, How about contacting the person and tell them you are consulting an attorney to get your rightful inheritance - that should frighten them to death or at least hopefully make them correct their tree!!!
Tons of luv

Now why didn't I think of that?!

It gets even better. I have found the baptism of the child they have put up as the spouse, and she was the daughter of a silversmith! Quite out of my 2 x great grandfather's league.

Thanks for your post-nice to see someone so helpful-was feeling a bit disillusioned with those who only want to get info from me!

I am still trying to trace the origin of my ancestor Matthew Bradford bornc1766. I am now hankering on a 1767 baptism in Hinxton, Cambs. My Matthew wed in 1978 in Southchurch, Essex and died in 1849 aged 83. Could the bleeder have not waited 2 more years to see in 31 March 1851 so I could get a ref to his birthplace lol. In 1841 he said he was not born in Essex.

On an Ancestry tree I noticed a tree had a Matthew Bradford born 1770 in Little Thurlow, Suffolk son of Thomas and Anne. He had a brother William, Patrick and John according to the tree. All were allegedly born in Thurlow. William was said to have died in 1850 in Poslingford.

I went to Suffolk Lowestoft RO today to double check to see if that tree was right and I found no evidence of baptisms of Matthew, Patrick or John in Little Thurlow, just William in 1771 who was said to be aged 3 when baptised. On this tree the baptism date of William was given but the other 3 just a year of birth was given but place given as Little Thurlow. So how they know Thomas and Anne had 3 others is beyond me. I did check Great Thurlow and 2 nearby parishes, Polstead and Poslingford to no avail. The only theory is they were baptised in another parish, or someone has made them up randomly. I can find no record of a Patrick Bradford anywhere in England that would fit and there was a few born later but all born in Ireland. Shows never to take Ancestry trees at face value and if I do find info on an ancestor on another tree I like to double check myself unless I have already found this out but any new info I double check in case it may be incorrect. I am in contact with a few cousins who I have known since 2004.
