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.

If you have been as thorough as you can be with the paper trail, have you come across evidence that links your matches' ancestors with your grandfather's cousins?

 People who change their names to start a new life often stick with their real date and place of birth, for example.  Do you have anything like that?

Sometimes the new name bears some relation to the original name - same initials; using a middle name as a first name; using a mother's maiden name, or other family name from a previous generation.

I think if the matches are as close as 2nd cousin, they are definitely related to your mother.  If someone believes you are wrong, they are free to do so of course, but how do they account for the obvious relationship?  By which I am not suggesting that you should challenge them, but if they can't /don't present an alternative, plausible explanation to the one you have found, there is no good reason to accept that they are right.

Wiltshire / Re: JOHN PRICE'S TWO WIVES
« on: Friday 20 June 25 21:22 BST (UK)  »
If you are descended from Francis Price, it seems clear that Elizabeth Sly is your ancestor. 

It is possible that there are Ancestry trees that have confused the two couples - unless you have matches who descend from the Doddimead family, but not from John Price?

If you check the first few years in the GRO index:

https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/indexes_search.asp

you will see that there are Price births registered in Warminster district both with mother's maiden name Sly, and with Doddimead.

(If you haven't used it before, you will need to sign up, but searching is free)

In the 1841 census there are two men named John Price in Warminster. One aged 25 married to Eliza. He's an agricultural labourer.  One (father of Francis) aged 30 married to Elizabeth. He's a mason.

The parish registers for St Denys with St Lawrence (unhelpfully) don't seem to record the marital status of brides and grooms. However John Price in 1832 doesn't sign his name, while John Price in 1833 does.

The Common Room / Re: Correction to GRO index not accepted

Thank you AntonyMMM.  Do you know if there are plans to include missed pages at some later date, or
whether the GRO are keeping a tally of reported missing entries?

Does anyone know how this happens?

FreeBMD shows an entry for December Q 1838 - Ann McGlaughlin  Newport S. district  18  120

This is shown quite clearly on the original index page.


I was unable to find it using the GRO search, and submitted a correction for a missing entry.

The result which appears on the record of the report is:

Current Status:    Investigated – No amendment required         
GRO Comments:   Indexed data not available.
