Cumberland Lookup Requests / Re: carlisle birth

That is a fascinating theory! I have done the DNA tests on several sites, no ethnicities come up other than English/Irish/Scottish/Welsh on all of them, and a touch of Scandanavian/Danish on one. I am not sure how Romani might show up.

Harry was my 2nd great-grandfather so I imagine that's close enough that anything he had is likely to show up in me to some degree.

True, I feel it's possible that there was some volatility in the relationship.

Also possible he didn't like authority much and was fond of giving inaccurate answers. I've been unable to find birth or marriage records for him. Shall persevere!

fiddlerslass - thank you, that's an interesting find. It might raise more questions than it answers.

If it is our man, why is he boarding if he's married? The age discrepancy is fairly wide, too. I will add it to the "maybe" pile as there are several things there that do align with other info.

Hi, I am also looking for any new info on Harry/Henry Riches/Richards.

He appears in the 1881 England census age 49 with wife Hannah (nee Madin) and several daughters (some from Hannah's previous relationship with an Abraham Morris) working as a "bottle caser at pottery".

He is also on daughter Hannah Elizabeth's marriage certificate when she marries Edward Lomas in 1897, occupation basket maker.
