 Entered born Ealing 1869 +/- 2 living Durham

Oh great find tazzie
I think I was told that before but hadn't understood i.ll try and find it now

Sorry millipede I have altered original post to make it clearer

Melinda was called lily on her son's school record and Lillian on one marriage I think

[brigidmac]

Ok I found her at 4 Union Alley
I've seen that address somewhere before

She is a maids help  and it might say Inn in pencil on line above for another maids help
There is also a Kitchenmaid .

But I don't know if they work elsewhere
Ancestry lists them as being in same household as a young labourer + wife +baby

But they are at no 3

There are no DNA links to John Thomas FARNSWORTH s legitimate children but there are 2 links thru his aunt Lavinia Farnsworth who had son before marriage to ROBERT HARRISON

her grandaughter also lavinIA FARNSWORTH married STOTT 
There are DNA matches with that surname

[brigidmac]

Solved I think

The secret children  belong to John William Farnsworth b 1872 to single mother Harriet FARNSWORTH

His baptism 25th Dec in Barnsley    is on same page as that of Thomas Harrison FARNSWORTH  born to Robert Harrison  + Lavinia Farnsworth  before they married both named on baptism

But a different Thomas Herbert FARNSWORTH was also born to  single Harriet  baptised march 1870
 Note on record says
Received into this church Jan 12th 1870

Is that the birth date ?

[brigidmac]

this would mean that the people who match highest have wrong mother for the thomas H Farnsworth who married Elizabeth HEWITT 1865 also known as CARR step fathers name

they would be 3rd cousins + 3rd cousins once removed which matches the dna amounts better .

[brigidmac]

Have had another DNA match & with protools & the  scenario is wrong

The dna connections were thru lavinia STOTT s brother

So it was more probably  william STOTT 1870 who had secret childen .

Back to the drawing board
