hi

thanks, I get all that and respect your opinion, just in our family we have a member that thinks he "owns" all the family history and that he has intellectual rights around it, which means the rest of us struggle when it could be so easy. for example he insists that a relative John Morgan died in Qld when in fact I have now proved at great cost that he died in Queens Park in WA

Anyway (lol) there is in every family one of his type

I will just keep plodding along as I was before

No probs with your comment. I understand the privacy issues completely, my comment actually said" ancient family history", just if we are all searching for the same info, why would a contributor ask for help with info and then not be kind enough to share what they have for the benefit of all

Cheers

Thanks Leslie

A member of ancestry sent me the info on Cecilia and I went back to records and got the coroners report to ensure that is was true.

I am in awe of your work, it is fabulous to see that you take a piece of information and just delve so far into it.

It is incredibly time consuming and expensive isn't it. I have bought so many birth death and marriage certificates and I end up having gone off on the wrong tangent.
it appears that many people doing their ancestry project just grab a fact and run with it, one wrong name or fact then it is all "corrupted"

Shame another person on the forum is only willing to give their information privately though, what can be so bad that you wouldn't share almost ancient family history.

Regards

Ally

Cecilia McGowan remarried after Fredericks death. her death was originally reported as a murder? she dropped dead outside the Marquis of Lorn in Peel Street Tamworth. there was an inquest held and the official finding was "death from excessive drinking". her husband married the "household help" the month following Cecilia's death

Elizabeth and John Morgan are also my great grandparents
