Hello Clive,I have looked at my Doughty tree , and found Francis and his family,
it is a bit of a mystry to me .First I must tell you the information I have all relates to my research into my Doughtys in Shropshire and alot of the information is from fellow reserchers ,it all makes sense until I get to Frances ,all his children are there with him and Hannah.
It says ,I quote; Francis Doughty.1813 ,Francis Doughty could be the son of
Francis Doughty and Elizabeth Baptised 20th march 1813-Broseley Shropshire. unquote.
I have searched through all the information and cannot fine any reference to a Francis and Elizabeth marriage. I have all my Doughtys going back to 1799 it includes all the children and their children.This is my direct ancestors going back four genarations starting with my gt Grandmother Annie Lucilla Doughty,born 1866 ,gt gt grandfather Robert Doughty born 1837,his father also Robert Doughty ,born 1799,his father George Doughty,born1759,
his father ,John Doughty born about 1720.
The only other Francis on the tree is the daughter of Benjamin Doughty and his wife Hannah Griffiths (Francis born 1843). Benjamin is the son of William Doughty and Mary Dyer.
I, m sure we must be on the right track .
