Perthshire / Re: Please explain, what "Of that Ilk"?

There is also the double  f - which is used instead of a capital F  and then, if you have Welsh ancestors an f is a v and a ff is an f -  What fun.

Also think it reads Whitlaw. M.S is pretty standard on Scottish records.

I'll concentrate on the Trott line  in the diagram. I've got some Somerset resources because OH has ancestors from down there and as I know the geography of down there and the Glamorgan area it should be fairly accurate.

Head getting muzzy though - the antibiotics are affecting me more than the symptoms they're supposed to cure  :(

I think Linda is getting very confused. Ann Kate (as Kate)  was married in 1901 and living with Charles . This is most likely their son.

Linda - just have a look through the info and dates again!

Linda

Ann Kate's maiden name was Trott. She married Charles Wood in 1898. The Trott family have a grandson listed with them as Henry Wood. Are you suggesting that they had another daughter who married a Wood ?

What is more interesting is the 2 year old Henry Wood living with Ann Kate's parents on the 1901.

Now here's a turn up for the books:

in 1901:

RG13/5047 Folio 25 Page 41
Trott's Lodging House, Cowbridge

Henry Trott, 60, Coal Merchant and Lodging House Keeper, b. Somerset, North Petherton
Ann, 50, b. Somerset, North Petherton
Henry W, s, 20, saddler, b. Glamorgan, Cowbridge
Annie, d,15, b. Glamorgan, Cowbridge (Sarah A on the 1891)
Minnie, d,13, b. Glamorgan, Cowbridge (Susannah on 1891)
Henry Wood, Grandson, 2, b. Glamorgan, Cowbridge

So is this the same Henry who is down as aged 6 with Charles and Kate and a duplicate entry (it often happened) or what  :o ??? ??? :o

Added - still concerned about Ann (mother) she's down in the censuses as born 1851-54  :-\

This looks like Ann Addicott in 1871:

RG10/2384 Folio 80 Page 10

Roadside or Readside, Lyng, Bridgewater, Somerset

?Innperona Hillman, wid, 60, Dairy woman, b. Somerset, ?
George Hillman, s, 28, Dairy man, b. Somerset, ?
Francis Hillman, s, 20, Dairy man, b. Somerset, ?
Ann Addicott, serv,  20, Servant, b. Somerset, North Petherton

The handwriting is terrible!

Before that, there's only the ones I've found  :-\
