looked like runner to me!  I was on my laptop at 2.30 am with poor lighting. Now I see it on my normal screen in daylight, it's definitely Owner  ::)


I've made an addendum to the entry

Yes I did the same and looked at it in good daylight.

Is it normal to have 4 different years of birth for someone?

 The various censuses all had different years. Can the church headstones be trusted or is it best to see the birth certificate?   

Christian's first date was when she swa 2 1851 census and I would think that would be the most reliable.

Hi Violetta  :)

It's fairly common for ages on different censuses to differ and some ages on  monumental inscription  to be wrong.

My Kirkcudbrightshire ancestors were really experts at age changing on censuses, whereas my Welsh ones were pretty honest  (not sure what that says about either  ::) )

I've got few MIs in my family but on one an age is obviously way out - it suggests that one of my ancestors had a child when she was 64 (this in 1793!). The fault was either the mason's or the person who supplied the information to the monumental mason as she was definitely the mother.

I guessed as much.  Now looking into George Snr family.

 Church inscriptions are proving valuable.Found William S c1813 could have been G's brother.

 He died at Thornton Park  9.11.1901 aged 88 and he was married to a Nicholson! Could have been one of Grace Annes Cousins.

It all gets more intriguing.
