Philip and Mary had 8 children. John and Susannah had 7 children. 2 of those had the same names as John's siblings (Ann and Robert).
Was it normal to name many more children after the grandparants or siblings ?
If Charles and Sarah are his parents I have to delete 4 ancesteral generations

PS I don't have the marriage license of John and Susannah.

Rosie99, oops I typed the wrong dates. sorry. changed it.

Heywood,

I think you're right about the 1861 census.
Where can I find the full probate record ? I don't have a subscription to  Ancestryor FindMyPast.
I live in the Netherlands so I can't visit any record office.

Hi all,

this is a compicated one, so I'll try to explane what I'm looking for.

Looking for any information about William Ross from Edinburgh Scotland.
According to census 1841 he was living in Southwark, John Street, West , nr. 11 with 14 other people.
He was 25 years old according to the census and he was a Lantern Maker.

I don't know where he was census 1851 and 1861.
Census 1871 has him living in Deptford (59 years old) with his nephew William T Nelthropp and niece Lydia J.
But....., William and Lydia (nee Noble) were married to each other since 1868.

So first question: if William Nelthropp was his nephew and Lydia was his niece how were these two both related to William Ross. I find this very confusing.

Second, third and fourth  question: where was William Ross in 1851 and 1861. When was he born and who were his parents. When and where did he die (I presum Lomdon area, but not sure).

Any help grately appreciated.

Oh btw, census 1841 shows that both William Nelthropp and Lydia Noble were living at the same address as William Ross (John Street, West, nr. 11, Southwark). So they knew each other probably all their lives.
