Why not  they all had a load of kids. Are you keeping up the family traditon 

I'm still getting your story straight in my head but looking at the same time..... nothing to report yet 

[deb usa]

Nooooo  2 children enough for me ...Lol ...

I think it may help if I give you more on the children of John Penfold (1809) and Harriet James (1814)... at least then you will know why it gets confusing as they all married into each others families.... generation after generation....

gathering info , BRB

I'll give this a go through the day, Deb.......but I have to tell you my brain is realling after reading through the other thread as well as this one!   

Looks like a real challenge!      With as many name variations as my Bauers!

Hi Dee ...

Thanks for giving it a go ...the Penfold married generation after generation into the Orchard/Holland/Hughs/Gess/Richards ...and used the same names ...like Defience, Patience, Soffia, Harriet , Ocean and Charlotte  eeekkkk

I would love to post a great pic .... can I send to you to make it smaller?

Phew.... that has just taken me  nearly 3 hours to read through and make sense of your last postings 

I shall now go and take a look...

Interesting that you link up with Matilda, when I had a look at her names I recognised Loveridge and Davis... they settled near where I grew up.

I don't have travellers so it should be interesting.
