Thank you for your replies and thoughts.

I would say that the zoom meeting is likely a different case where manners and a certain protocol is observed, whereas the LC newsletters are entirely his choice of content, whether given consent by others to include information or just his own views. Rather like using a ' telephone voice' when answering a call, being polite and 'proper'. Or not.

No matter what the life and circumstances, a child has died and the family are grieving. Respect should have been observed and any tittle tattle and assumptions should have been unspoken.

I do apologise for hijacking this thread, I thought the best place was to add my comments on this topic.

I was impressed with lost cousins at first but I have seen it's decline, unfortunately. At first I thought that when I read about current subjects written about, such as covid, that it was me, and that I was being somewhat sensitive to how it came across. But it does come across as preaching and it you don't agree then you are reckless and stupid.

Recently, there were some very hard words concerning the story of the poor youngster A***** B********e. Disparaging assumptions and judgements were made that were shocking and upsetting to read, with no thought at all of the family. Further information of the family had been researched and included, which is totally inappropriate. The owner of the site is entitled to his opinion, but in this instance it went too far and should not have been subject of a family history newsletter. One premise that we abide by when asking for help is to NOT post living peoples names.  This family is not his family. I found it wholly unsuitable material for discussing about in a newsletter.

 :oThank you so much, Shropshire Lass. You have looked for and found a wealth of information that I can work with; fantastic! It is greatly appreciated, all your hard work, providing me with clues and help.

Thanks again, just absolutely fantastic!

I will see if I can find anything more about the schools records, great advice!

Sorry I haven't any more information

Unless they are not all together, and Elizabeth is with her father and not Thomas, or vica versa. Or ELizabeth and Thomas are together, and no father, as he is seperate. The only other thing I have is that the mother may be Catherine or Elizabeth, but this is not confirmed.

Many thanks for looking.
