Hi Judith,    

Many many thanks for your kindness.....it's very much appreciated. That information absolutely confirms what I've been trying to prove for so long! I'm thrilled....and so is my 90 year old mother.

Thanks also to Cando for getting in touch with you.

At a guess..........I'd say you're very happy Dee

Not just proof about Hugh.....but Joseph also.....that's an added bonus!

Happiness is........breaking down a genealogy brick wall........

For the interest of all those who helped with this hunt, not only has my brickwall been broken down, but I am now also discovering more information to fill some gaps.    

Firstly, I've found the baptism records for both children of Charlotte Elizabeth BAUER and Joseph Cecil Lennard, and thus have their birth dates as well.

I've also got the baptism records of Emily Jane and Mary Eliza Bauer, daughters of Joseph Bauer and Jane Lee. Not only that, but I've also found baptisms for two little sons who must have died between censuses.

Plus baptisms for two of the children of Hugh Bauer and Charlotte Osborne makes the past twenty four hours a very successful one.

As usual, I had to use creative spelling for the name BAUER when searching. 

There's been nothing to take me back further though.

Dee,

No links to the Bauers I found, I presume?

[deeiluka]

Not at this stage, unfortunately, James.

The difficulty is linking any of them back to my Jospeh Bauer, who came from France......
