Hi Mercel,
The fact that Janet married 8 Sep 1577 Elland, unless there is a supporting baptism say 1538 (year most parish registers started or later ) to say 1560 -I'd be very suspicious of them tree entries as Janet's father Richard.
2 reasons
1 ) A lot of trees are copied from 1 entry tree and 2) LSD members have - I believe
- have to research back at least 6 generations -thus the original tree entry for Janet could be a bit of artistic license out of desperation in those early parish register years.
As an apprentice in an engineering factory age 15 - I was told by a skilled engineer to give this factory builder maintenance chap called Tom a pint mug of tea, over 20 years on very rare meeting him by chance around the factory - I called this chap Tom till one day he said- by the way? my name Keith not Tom.
The moral is - not everything is what it seems sometimes.
