The life of a con man part 2

[Dinosaur]

I'm disappearing off to Germany for the next 5 days so won't be able to check back in until Friday evening.

Some of my mother's ancestors come from the village of Kammerborn bei Uslar, northwest of Gottingen in Lower Saxony. The father of our immigrant ancestor was a cowherd there. Somehow I doubt I'll find anyone as colorful as the Osbaldestons!

Bye for now

I doubt any of us have anyone like the Osbaldestons  ...although my family did have people who in 1851 were "the Slacks", (dad= Coach builder) and by 1861 were "the Smiths", (dad= hawker) ...we hafe no clue why!

re this from Dinosaur:
"The newspaper article “And So They Were Married,” The Sun (New York), Tuesday, 14 Feb 1888
I’ve searched http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/ in the past but hadn’t come across this gem. "

I cannot find it! What is it about?

Deb it was Annie Mabel's marriage its one I found on the Fulton web link transcribed and lost grrr can I refind it
It said her father gave her the option of giving up her fiance or leaving home...some choice
She went to the house where he lived with his mum and although they had planned to marry in a couple of years they went out that afternoon and tied the knot. ETO threated the law as he reckoned she was under age ..but nothing came of that she was 21 after all and ETO far from squeaky clean was hardly likely to bother the law.

I bet Addington jail was a bit different in ETO's day

He was baptised (as Edwin Turner) at St Mary's Cheltenham on 30 Dec 1838.

I asked the question, already had the answer in notes I made at the Glos Archives 

1838 Dec. 30th Edwin son of Charles & Mary Ann Turner, Gas Green Chelt'm, Book Binder

GFHS has come back to me with info from the birth registration index taken from the original register, Edwin's mother Mary Ann's maiden name was Tanner.

Where does Tanner come from

I think that was a mistake on behalf of the clerk he probably found it strange that she was apparently Mrs Turner and also nee Turner...though we know there are many cases of situations like this...she was nee Turner daughter of Charles Turner but she used her father's name as the name of her children's father or the truth that they were her step father's children would have caused too much scandal. Their real father was Josiah Osbaldeston who himself lived under the alias Jos. James after the bankruptcy case. Charles Turner was long dead when she used his name in this way.
I am still ploughing through all the data the threads have turned up there is such a mass  and I am such a slow typist  I am looking forward to Dinosaur's return Friday evening but have booked to go away for Sat -Monday evening can't wait for the next episode
