wow that marriage is good can we work from that?

if Lydia is a result of this marriage then i don't see why there is confusion over her surname what i mean is i dont see why she should be confused over her name

so married in 1794 and Letitia born circa 1815 almost 20 years later mayeb she is a child of one of the Forbes boys who gave her the midde name of Barrett like hi smother?

Hi Toni,

Sorry to disappoint you, Toni, but it would be one of the Barrett boys with Forbes as a middle name.

Did you see the below link that another RChatter started.  Gives children of Thomas and Elizabeth but only up to 1807.   Might be worth contacting that RC.  For all we know, there could have been births after 1807 even as late as 1815!

So many different scenarios it can do your head in. :-\

Hi everybody

A big thankyou  ;D once again - there have been some great finds. If the 1839 Letitia is one of mine, it could push the marriage back to before 1837, meaning it could be in a PR out in Kent somewhere that hasn't been scooped up in the IGI or elsewhere.

I'm going to message the rootschatter who was interested in the Barrett/Forbes couple and consider purchasing the birth certs of Richard b 1842 & Letitia b 1839 to see where it gets me.

Morning everyone

I wonder if we should take a different route.

Letitia states being a Barrett on various birth certs ...so lets believe her!  ;D

Tn found a Richard Burgess in the 1851 also a paper stainer born Maidstone, Kent. His age looks to be 56 ...But the more I looked at it ..It seemed to me that it might have been 50 with a 1 put over the 0. There is someone at the bottom of the page who 56 and the 6 is completely different to Richard's.

Okay say he is the one who married Letitia Forbes in 1843 ....which should be able to hopefully find them seperately and then hopefully a death for Letitia Burgess between 1843-1851.

TN ..maybe ordering some more birth certs would put your mind at ease that Letitia was indeed a Barett.

deb ...running out of ideas  :-\

Good approach Deb. I'll look closer at the 1841 and 1861 for that Richard Burgess, bearing in mind he may be 5 years younger than I thought.
