Well it presumably matched what you were hoping to find, but how do you know it's correct?

I guess the "snake oil" magically worked for me and my husband, despite the supposed "millions to one" odds.  I suppose I should go buy a lottery ticket.

If that is what you want to believe then fine but if you think about it a little more you might come to terms with the fact that you do not know no such thing.

Still if that is what you want to believe go for it ..............
James Stott c1775-1850. James was born in Yorkshire but where? He was a stonemason and married Elizabeth Archer (nee Nicholson) in 1794 at Ripon. They lived thereafter in Masham. If anyone has any suggestions or leads as to his birthplace I would be interested to know. I have searched for it for years without success. Thank you.

Actually, I was hoping to find something unexpected, but I didn't.

Thanks to your double negative, you are saying that I do know. 

Anyway, I'm done discussing this and won't be reading any further comments.
