Bedfordshire Completed Look ups / Re: George Thomas Franklin

Many thanks David ... you have done an incredible amount of research to help me sort my way through the Franklin maze. As you say, we may never have the information to categorically prove that Thomas who married Alice Cousins (Healy) is the same Thomas who married Phillis Underlin at an earlier date but so much circumstantial evidence certainly does point that way.
Regarding your question about the other individuals named on the 1915 letter - everyone mentioned there checks out completely. I have all of the data on each and everyone that Alexander listed. I think we can view Alex as a creditable source for information.
An interesting aside re Phillis Underlin - my neighbour who is an extremely experienced researcher went online and found a huge file on the Underlin line. It dates back to the mid 1600s and Phillis is shown to have married Thomas Franklin at approximately the same time as we thought ... give or take a year. I wish it was just that easy to track down my direct blood lines but - hey! - the thrill of the hunt and all that goes with it.
Again, David ... many, many, many thanks. Thanks also to Cathy and Jan for their input as well.
Best regards,
Karen
