oh wicked - what a picture.

I was in Great Rollright a couple of weeks ago, wish I knew where the photo was taken so to get a modern one to compare

I went there about 10 years ago to visit the stones, an archaeological tour. I'm an archaeologist

Now you have put the cat among the pigeons , I found in the 1841 census the family were under Widows, but come 1851 the name was Withers, so what to do . Thank you for that answer.
I guess any Widdows  entry's too please

[brendaannc]

[brendaannc]

Maria Ann baptism you found is my Husbands gg grannie married as Withers.

I am impressed archaeology is just fascinating. I should love to 'do' a dig - must be so exciting.

So to these records it seems quite odd that the family made use of 2 last names - not unusual but to be so clearly known for it as well.

Rather than provide info you may not need and time etc who are you particularly interested in or what line - I am happy to start and work back but from whom?
To just trawl through and type out a whole list, - and I type with my elbows or at least the number of mistakes I make it feels as though I should be!!! You may do better to get the CD in fact I suggest that may be best anyway as to unpick this family is going to be so complex?
