Okay ..... so we have this submitted entry re; Elizabeth b 1905, Rochdale d/o Thomas and sarah ... Linda is a direct rellie of these two and says there is no Elizabeth , in her tree....
someone had to have seen this entry in order to have submitted it ... also there is a marriage to confirm that Thomas Holland married a Sarah Ann Brierley. Sometimes IGI submitted entried can be wrong ..but it seems that this entry has a lot of detail ....
okay if Elizabeth was kinda ostracised from the family for having a relationship with the Richardson boy when she was 14 , then maybe Linda didn't know about her.
Also by going backwards in time re;Thomas and james Hollands family ...see previous post, there doesn't seem to be a coal miner /traveller/gypsy among them ....
arrghhh .... I think we need to rethink all of this ....
