Hi Rootschatters,
   I wanted to add a second wife to a male person in my tree on Ancestry.

I was able to do that but the first one and all descendants weren't visible any more. 

But by clicking on the new wife it changed back to the old one.  This is not what I had hoped for.
I have seen trees that show more than one wife  at the same time so how does one achieve that.   

such as Billy Blogs married to Sally Jones and also Mary Tinpot.

Hope this is understandable  and thanks for any ideas etc.  Essnell

I agree about the confusion.  Originally I had David with Sarah [Sally] Manning married in 1872  Woodbridge.

Then I found a reference to them being in Moor Crichel, Dorset in 1871. I found all their children including William and then that brought up Clogheen. 
 Then the death of David in 1890  also in Clogheen.  Then Sara is back in York in 1872.   I could not find this David's father or his birth.   However he may have been born in 1840 which makes him about 32 when he married. 

   I thought he may have been a son of one of the brothers related to Mark Gilbert.   Mark actually has a brother David who was born in 1828.  This one never left Dorset.  He married Bethia Isaacs in 1848.    and they had about ten children   So he isn't an issue.

It's the other one.    I am going to cheeck something ..... be back aasap

Hi Everyone, 
Essnell again.....  i decided to try contacting the owner of the records where those Census were posted. Hope i get a favourable reply and it helps.

Also now adding to earlier memebers of this family and have a person named David Gilbert who appears to have a connection to the Gilbert people in both Moor Crichel, Dorset and Clogheen Tippereary . I have tried to see if he was a son to any of the others i know about. not successful so far.

What  know :  Born C 1840  Woodbridge.
Married Sarah [Sally] Manning in 1872. 
Died in Clogheen Tipperary 1890.
David and Sarah have ten children.  The youngest in 1891 was 7months old named William Gilbert......   
and he was born in Clogheen 1890.
How long they were in Clogheen I am not sure but some time between 1886 and 1890. David died in 1890 in Clogheen.
Sarah[Sally] returns to York by 1891 with baby William and her other children. 
Sarah {Sally} died 1931in York 4th Jan.   Probate  granted 14th February to Ada he youngest Daughter. 

I am hoping to see if this family belong anywhere within the extended Gilbert 's from Moor Crichell, Dorset. 

thanks for any ideas or suggestions . 
Essnell.

Kiltaglassan and aghadowey, 

Thank you both for replies.
  First where I found this printed as set out above  minus the "////"  .....  it was through MyHeritage and a tree that is belonging to a relative of Thomas. Initially I was able to access the Family Search data Base that allows one to see their records for the chosen person.  It also allows one to add information or suggest alternative information with supporting source information.  So what I posted is what was on there. not MyHeritage

I  have not got back to that point since, but the information was added by someone with an account on there.  It's free. There is no way that the dates can be verified , unless you do bit of date matching, know Thomas's age at those dates etc.

For me they do relate but why were they posted as Census and not Residence.   I know that putting that up under Census is  silly to say the least.

The reason why they relate is because of a private family story which at this point in time is still a family hand-me-down story un-validated. 
Unfortunately those vanished Census Records would have helped  with that if they showed where Thomas was at a particular time and with whom.     
Eventually Thomas moved to England and joined the Inland Revenue and worked with them all his life.

I have not tried to contact the person as there is so little information on there other than this list of dates and places he was. Not even his death information. 

Yes this is now touching on living people because it's their past.
 aghadowey. thanks for the pm offer.. will do .
