And on FS (at least when it was the IGI) there are two types of record - extracted records which have been taken from a parish record, census return or some other original record. And submitted records which have been contributed by users.
These submitted records may be accurate, but may contain assumptions, such as age of bride and groom on marriage (I have seen some - pre 1837 -, where groom is always 25 and bride is always 21). Sometimes a baptism record and a death record have been linked together as one record. They could be correct, but it would be rare for the actual  baptism record to be annotated with date of death or burial, unless events were very close to each other.
And  on the subject of other people's assumptions. Look carefully at any BMD certificates people have attached to their trees, whether it be FS, Ancestry or any other tree hosting platform. I have seen some where the tree owner has written assumed information on the copy of the Certificate they have bought, then uploaded it to their tree. An E and W (post 1837) marriage Cert will have names of fathers of the couple and their occupations, It will not have the fathers' date and place of birth as I saw on one cert a while back, which led another descendent of the couple on a time consuming wild goose chase.

Ohh yes I think this is the problem. People are uploading documents to people and then they're seen as official source?

My family all have a really common Christian names and surnames which is leading to someone finding "john Smith A" and thinking its "John Smith B".

Im just wondering
is family search reliable?
I can see my family on there,
but the records/family trees on family search dont make sense - ive seen it cited it everywhere though when i search.
is it a case that this website is just like ancestry where nearly everyones tree, is wrong?

I was once told that Charlotte married a John? Hyde, who died young and left Charlotte with a son named John, but don’t have the proof. Family search, before they changed their website named all William McCollell and Charlotte Mussen’s children , some of them being Sarah,William, Margaret and  Blaney.

Son John Hyde baptised in 30 march 1800
mother Charlotte Mussen, Father John Hyde
Father recorded as deceased

charlotte hyde marries John McKittrick in 1809
record says "widow" but doesnt say who this is referring to

Rebecca Mussen McKittrick bap. 1817 - to John and Charlotte mcKittrick, in drumbo..

No other children i can find.
If Rebecca is recorded with Mussen im wondering if my Blaney born around early 1810s is Charlottes son.

update
on find my past

Charlotte McKittrick 40 yrs
John " 40 yrs
Elizabeth " 16 yrs
Nancy Jane " 14 yrs
Thomas " 18yrs - recorded elsewhere as 8
Rebecca ? yrs (think it says 7)
John Hyde 20yrs
1827 passenger list to Baltimore on Massasoit And Dumfri And Doris

Has anyone found Blaney Mussen’s parents?

still on this trying to find. Ive found Philips childrens baptism records - no Blaney/blainey/bleaney in them. Just that their address was Belleny

I think ive found all the sons born to Philip married, was thinking that one of them - maybe Philip Skelton Mussen went by Blaney but no..

Mrg record for Blaney Mussen but no recorded details other than spouse Charlotte.

Havent found any mention in newspapers either

Need help re Lintons in tullycallidy area.
I'll label the first line A and the second B. Basically I have lintons everywhere because there is a C line too!

I have a William Linton(A) born around 1853, farmer. Parents both William Linton, a farmer(his father also William Linton farmer) and Mary Albin, she died in 1906 (reg off by granddaughter Eliza berry*) and both are on the census 1901 with their son William Linton(A)b 1850s listed as a farmer and also married but no wife present in home. All born in armagh.
Assuming with William, they also a daughter Elizabeth Linton b around 1850s and married a Berry, Eliza's birth cert confirmed mother was a Linton.

B line
Here's where I get confused. I have another William Linton also a farmer in armagh in a separate line of family born around 1850s (who's father is recorded as a William also farmer on mrg cert). HE married a jenkinson. They had A daughter christine/tinawho married a grierson (After Christine died her sister Elizabeth* married grierson, it was elizabeths first marriage. )

I can find him (b) on the census with his wife and  Tina + other children in 1901.
He says he's born in armagh too.

How likely is it that this William Linton is the same person recorded twice on the census in 1901.
I cannot find a marriage for Linton and Albins son William(A), and he says he's married on the census.
- I cannot find a death cert for a separate William Linton (A)of this dob either.
-The timeline of Eliza Berry being granddaughter to MJ Albin (A) when she died 1906 and her mother listing William Linton (A) on the marriage certificate as father, farmer, also fits if these two williams in armagh are the same people. As Linton and Jenkinsons (B) daughter Elizabeth did not marry a Berry/ was born too late to have Eliza.
- I also have a Welsh Linton (C) in armagh, early 1800s on another line! Is he connected? Because I'm seeing children being named Wesh on Linton A line too.

I originally thought that B william was maybe from Scotland because of the 2 William lintons, both farmers on the 1901 census.

A+B married into eachother, and C(but the Welsh Linton is way far back in this line)
