    Not to worry - it can be tricky when different aspects of the same question belong in different places, but a bit of cross-referencing usually sorts it out. (Moderators can also merge threads if they...

    I didn't read the other post until after I'd replied here, and my first thought was that yes, he seems to have been either lying or a bigamist. However, given what you said there about his separation...

    If Heneage hadn't heard from Sarah for 7 years he could have presumed she was dead and legally married Ruth, but in view of the Chancery case in 1823, this might mean the marriage to Ruth was a bit...

    Yes, he might have wanted to emphasise that they were legitimate, possibly to show that they were entitled to settlement in the same place as he was. I don't know whether anyone would have checked if...

    his 2 Chn are by his late Wife Ruth to whom
    he was Marrd

    (Abbreviated words are Children and Married)

    And the bit in the margin, if it's similar to the entry...

    Based on a quick look in the National Index of Parish Registers, the short answer is No.

    Not if it's all properly backed up with multiple copies, which is of course a possibility with digital. I would prefer the paper copies to be kept, but without the digital ones, it would be an even...

    That's not looking too good for the mmn's of the children in the 1861 census, unless she'd been married before. More research needed there, but I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to do any more...

    Mother's maiden name for that one given as BACH by the GRO. Most of the others in the census entry we found have mmn BUTCHER - but as it's slightly similar I wouldn't rule it out as being the same....

    At the age of 20, someone would normally need the consent of their parents in order to marry. The fact that it's an executor who gives consent suggests that William's parents, or at least his father,...

    What struck me about this was Thomas's age at death. Did he die in England or Wales? Because if so, I suspect something is amiss.

    The first character (ie the initial) looks the same as the letter before 'Wing', but I wonder if it might be 'R' rather than 'B'. Although it's not identical to the one in C.M.R., it does have a...
