Thanks, some good comments,  his dad ran out from the family home about two weeks after he was born so maybe thats something to do with it. I do think its him, age, looks location and if it isnt him I would be very surprised.

Anyway,  revenge is!, a dish best served cold,  and as the saying goes "I know where you live".....  I do, I looked him up in 192 :-)

Hi,
My sister pointed out a public profile from facebook. The picture is a dead ringer for my brother and his name was my family name and it matched my cousin who i have never met. There was also an email address in the public profile so I sent off the following email...

Hello XXXX,
You’re features resemble my own YYYY family and you may be my cousin.

I am currently doing some Family History research and would like confirmation that you are the same XXXX YYYY who’s mother was AAAA BBBB?

I have detailed information on the YYYY pedigree so let me know if you would like any further information.

Kind regards,
Ray YYYY

his response was ....

"GO AWAY!"

I felt a little hurt, but mostly confused as to why I got such an emphatic shun from such a polite approach. Its not like I did any digging, his name and email address is in the public profile.

Anyone have any idea why such a vitriolic response?

Thanks very much for the decryptions, excellent work.
I have no idea how you people do this sort of thing.

I think The PM report stated cause of death as i) Chronic Nephritis and ii) Pneumonia - 2 days

I have seen that and I have always thought that Henry Simmonds was Harry Lane.
There is alo a family legend that Harry was Eliza Lanes son the illegitmate son  of well to do person who employed Eliza Lane

It was the middlesex connection that made me think I had found the right christening

Back to trail I suppose, thanks again

I think I may have been a bit excited and didn't check my facts :-(

Harry's grand parents were John and Sarah but they lived in Hampshire and he was a corn miller not a coachman (boo Hoo)

thanks for the information
