Hi there Maddie nice to speak, I did not know for certain that the ware ruth was mine its that in the 41c my ruth mead had a child ruth aged 1, in the 51c there was no ruth, she would have been 11,I assume she died, and so I thought I would run with this to see if any one could throw some light on her, this is why I put it up on roots to test the water, had nothing in stone, I found my ruth in the 41c with this child and as she gave her origin as millend rickmansworth, I reasoned right/wrong that the child was of same as it seems out of wed lock because ruth senior marr in 1846 in london, ever hopefull there was a church record, but it would seem not the ware child was no mine......mick
