Hi Deb, Carole and Steve.

Carole - it is only the intro they wanted checked for errors (so far at least). I did ask about Miss Manodes but haven't had a reply yet.
Steve - I agree, a map is essential - I'll pass that on to them.

Deb - It is only the intro on the website they wanted checked, rather than that other intro I posted in part 2 or 3. That had numerous errors but you're right - it was the only mention of Ann being middle aged.

I believe that 'other' introduction was written many years ago by an archivist at Westminster Archives. That was then amended and used as the basis of the current intro for the website. At one stage I mentioned to one of the Archivists that there were errors in the introduction (meaning the old one) and have now been asked to point out any errors in the website's intro.

Deb, the first lookup I thought of was Matthew Ward's death - great minds think alike

I'm sure he must have died before 1851. Remember Nat is with Uncle John in 1851 and Granny Shepard is in the workhouse.

I agree about expanding the Lea relationship too.

I wonder if they fancy including a little 'family tree' in the book. I wonder how many living descendants they've found - and would they be allowed to include them?
Deb, you mention Emma Morris - do you think he and Nathaniel might have had a thing going on?

No seriously, you mentioning that made me wonder why they included this and not the fact that he was with his son Henry in the 1891 census. I'd say either include both or neither.
