Lesanne Scavenger hunt August 2011 .. part 2...

[Spidermonkey]

Fanny Spencer O'Bryan Taylor lives until the 1911 census...........

Not sure what this means for 'our' research..........in fact, no longer know who or what I am researching!

Hello spidermonkey,
At one time scavenger hunts were 'along the lines of' posting anything that looked possible.. 
..then, whoever, would have the uneviable jobby of sorting thru once the scavenger hunt was over.

We know that Esther and Jane have all the posts that could be found via internet. They can only be found via paper. Thomas and his children from Sarah & Frances have mostly been paired up or died.

Frances and Charles on the other hand, had slipped thru any real digging.
I have every Richard from Montgomeryshire and surrounds in 1871... excluded those in 1881.. then worked back, using 1861 etc..  obviously, it's only the ones I'm able to find, there are a few missing from census, for whatever reason.
Knowing Frances Mary Ann and Charles were in Bray 1871 and both from Montgomeryshire. Any 'scavenged very thin scrap' is worth a look.

Thanks for finding that last bit and bringing it forward. I didn't get chance today.

we don't actually know for sure that Richard was alive in 1871 
i really think its a case of finding Charles on 1861 which means a long haul

Is that not rather a risky way to research- it could lead to several wrong and winding roads    I would have thought it was vital to eliminate the wrong leads, especially if that info was then used in further searches.  They could all become based on a false premise without anyone being any the wiser.

then, whoever, would have the uneviable jobby of sorting thru once the scavenger hunt was over.

Is it not better to sort and evaluate information as it appears, in order to eliminate the wrong leads/red herrings.  Since you are still searching  for the Turners (I think) does this mean that all the stuff that was found on the 8 parts of your previous hunt was not useful or led nowhere?

As Spidermonkey said yesterday, we don't want to duplicate efforts.

Hey, Les!

Sorry if I've missed anything skipping ahead from page 6, but I believe I still have the PR film for Windsor at my FHC.  Do you need me to look for anything there?

Cheers!
