GRO online shows a son William b Sept qtr 1871 Salford died same qtr mmn Baird

The second link above shows Richards birthplace as Northamptonshire??

As family were in England until late 1871 - how could Richard have married in the US in 1868??

Thanks CaroleW,

The 2nd link is a different family that they have been merged with on several Ancestry trees.
This family immigrated 1852 via New York to Ohio.

The Henson's in Lorain County, Ohio, United States aren't the same Henson's that were in Pennsylvania 1880 census.

Exactly.  As you say - somebody's  tree has incorrect info.  Have you contacted the tree owner?

Here's the link to a "wrong 'un"

Thanks CaroleW,

I have contacted this Ancestry tree owner.

There are another 4 to 7 Ancestry trees (3 are private) that have the same "incorrect info"

Problem 1 - people don't research properly

Problem 2 - they put their incorrect tree online

Problem 3 -  others  just copy it without checking & before you know it you have multiple trees all with wrong info.  Which is the case with the Henson tree.

A few weeks ago I saw a tree that showed 2 children in the same family baptised several years before they were born.  Another tree had a death for an adult male a year before his marriage.  Bet his bride got a shock at the altar😂
