I'm at work so have only time for a quick note.
Nice one BD, I wonder how much will confirm ours, can't wait to find out.
Mary
Umm so what do you want me to do?? Have her send me 50 pages of files?? Not that I mind, but the hard drive might!! LOL
BD No I wasn't suggesting that, but what I am thinking is that anybody with such a lot of information must have a strong interest in genealogy and their own family in particular and I'm sure that at the end of all of this she will find some details that add to her own research, so by reading through she could possibly pinpoint any errors or omissions that we have made.
If it was our own family that was being done we'd be able to see places where researchers not knowing any better would take a wrong avenue. Perhaps she could just see if we have made any major incorrect assumptions.
Annie, I've been looking into similar places for the Robertson family found in 1861 so if you come across any of these while en route, please take note.
Mother - Mary Robertson b 1798 Paisley Scotland
- George & Helen b 2 Mar, bap 22 Apr 1820, - We already know about George, not Helen
- Archibald b 3 Mar 1825, bap 2 Mar 1826,
- Hugh Moody b 19 Dec 1828, bap 23 Jan 1829,
- Agnes b 20 Dec 1830, bap 24 Feb 1831,
- Charles Mackae b 25 May, bap 25 Jul 1833,
- John b 23 Jan, bap 8 Jun 1835, - We already know about him
- Mary b 27 Nov 1837, bap 11 May 1838,
- Janet b 6 Feb, bap 3 Apr 1840,
James b 1843 - We already know about him.
All above except mother Mary, baptised in Stepney. George, Helen and Archibald not at home in 1861.
If we are accepting this family as "ours" for reasons already stated above Charles M in West Derby, 1871 is NOT ours.
Mary, Just trying to summarise.
