I hope John lees isn't related to rebeca lees because if he is and his henrys dad that would mean that Henry and Hannah getting married would be incest

  Now go back through your thread and find Jane Brookshaw b 1838 in 1841/51 and start making a mini tree of the family on paper, it will stop both you and all that have enjoyed the journey with these 2 families a lot of stress in working out just who is who!

Ok I will do ,I have been adding names as I go to my tree on genes R but its not the same as putting it on paper and your right it does get very confusing with all the names and so many with the same names .i found Jane like U said in the census s she's Henry jnr older sister right ?

  Correct, Jane is his sister, when you get stuck, need help, wait, and then look again, I in my early days with the Kingsbury family was in the same predicament as yourself, confused with illegitimate births etc!

Yeah I just wondered because ive seen some people on here get as far as the 1600 hundreds ,i wonder how they do it must be amazing to get 300 years worth of family history .my partner is always saying why am i wasting my time unraveling the past but i find it quite exciting finding new people and were they were living and what they were doing and if it wasn't for them i wouldn't be here now
