Hi Romarin

I have the all same Andrews as you mention above in my tree except I have Robert Laxton Andrews as being born in 1847 not 1838. This would be the year after Robert Andrews and Catherine Ann White married. The next inline was, as you mention, Henry Williams in 1851.

My line descends from Robert Laxton Andrews and Caroline Fletcher. However, I can't be certain that RLA is the father of the first daughter to Caroline - which is what made me start this thread.

Seems a lot of out of wedlock in this side!

Hi Rosemary - or should I say 'cousin'?!! I've sent you a personal message so that I can let you see my online tree - if you want to! Neil
