Lincolnshire / Re: Rebecca Cordley of Weston/Pinchbeck, nr Spalding
« on: Tuesday 09 September 25 18:36 BST (UK)  »
I'm not sure where the middle name of Jane has come from - none of the trees posted on FindMyPast and Ancestry for Rebecca Jane Cordley link to an original source for this - and Rebecca Cordley didn't use that name when she married Thomas Cole.

I can't see a baptism for her in Weston, Lincolnshire.

However, there is a John Cordley marrying Elizabeth Seamour 20 May 1822 at Weston. One of the witnesses is Rebecca Cordley, so I would think it likely that John and Rebecca are siblings.

I don't see a baptism for Thomas at the moment, but he and Ann also had:

Elizabeth bap. 2 April 1743
Ann bap. 2 April 1744

at Somersham.

The Common Room / Re: Knowingly lying on a birth certificate

Sorry Glen. I didn't read your post properly, and I had understood that a married woman's husband's name would always be recorded as the father, no matter what the truth was, or what she happened to tell the registrar.
 
Thanks for the information.   :)

...she specified her rather unusual middle name as the mother's maiden name... 



Are you saying that the birth was registered using only the mother's middle name as a surname, rather than her actual surname? How would that spare anyone's blushes?

Or do you mean that the index is showing a mother's maiden name as well as the surname the birth is indexed by?  In which case  the birth has been registered as if the child was born to a married couple
and there will be father's details, albeit (probably) with the wrong surname.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Bride's surname 1680 marriage

I see it as Crashfeild too.  Do you have a particular reason to think that it isn't Crashfeild/Crashfeild?

Elizabeth wife of Fleetwood Wooton was buried at Redenhall 26 August 1681, their son William having been baptised there on 10 May.

Hello, Hogfather, and welcome to Rootschat.

It could be Miles Street, if you allow for a curly bit at the end of the downstroke on the M.  Are there any others on the certificate to compare with?
Miles Street still exists in the area west of Princes Park.  Does that seem a likely place?

Shropshire / Re: Thomas Morgan born Dawley Magna, Shropshire 1808 or 1809
« on: Monday 23 June 25 20:36 BST (UK)  »
Thomas  s/o Thomas and Ann Morgan was baptised at Dawley Magna 29 January 1809.

There is a marriage of Thomas Morgan bachelor and Ann Morgan spinster at Madeley 11 April 1803. Thomas signs. Ann makes her mark.  Witnesses are John Buckley and Margaret Buckley.

There are no other marriages of a Thomas Morgan and an Ann around this time in Shropshire.  However there is one in Wolverhampton  21 March 1808 of Thomas Morgan  bachelor and Ann Jackson spinster. Witnesses are John Sparrow and Joseph Wainwright.

Sorry, just noticed that you are new here. Welcome to Rootschat!

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: DNA shared matches verses paper trail.

The op does not say that they have evidence of either of the two cousins who emigrated undergoing a second marriage ceremony.   Unless they did, it isn't bigamy.  In any case, it wouldn't be relevant to the question being asked.

2 of hers fathers 1st cousins left families in England and moved over seas. 1 to Canada around 1892 and 1 to Australia between 1923-1928, changing their names on the way and then starting new families.



Are you saying that both cousins left children behind in England?  Do you have any matches that you know are descended from these children?  If you do, they'll be quite close matches with any that are descended from the second families, which Pro Tools will show you.

Any especially close matches with those you know are descended from one of the second families would be worth looking at, even if they don't have trees, if you haven't done this already.
