The Common Room / Ancestry Hints which have no relation to the person they are giving the hint for
« on: Saturday 27 April 24 15:50 BST (UK) »
Lately I have been getting hints from Ancestry that seem to have no relationship at all to the person they are giving the hint for and the hint is not even the right surname.
I am tracing a John Emmanuel Griffin born 1827 Brede Sussex. He married Sarah Gustell of Brede 30 May 1847 in Brede and they had many children and spent the rest of their life together in Sussex
Ancestry gives me the following hint for him 3 times and this is not the only person they have given hints that seem to have relationship at all. I have ticked on the area where you say why you did not accept the hint and have done it on many occasions with different people in my tree.
England, Select Marriages, 1538-1973
Birth, Marriage & Death
Name John Wadsworth
Birth 1823
Marriage 15 Apr 1857 Saint Michael, Stone, Stafford, England New
Residence Stone, Staffordshire, England New
Spouse Sarah Morris
Father John Wadsworth
Does anyone else get clues that are not even the name of the person you get them under as John Wadsworth of Stone Staffordshire has no relationship at all to John Emmanuel Griffin of Brede Sussex and no relationship to anyone on my tree.

The Lighter Side / Re: Myths debunked when doing family histroy.
« on: Thursday 25 April 24 20:26 BST (UK) »
My wife was baptized one week before we got married 56 years ago.
I cant remember why this took place but it was done in private. There was my wife, myself and the Anglican minister.
I have always said I am her husband and godfather and godmother....

Europe / Re: Town village name in Russia
« on: Monday 28 August 23 14:12 BST (UK) »
Unfortunately all I have is the newspaper obituary so no other sources to confirm the name.
The Canadian census records give the country of origin but not the place. They all state Russia.
I will see if I can locate her naturalization papers.
Thankyou

Europe / Town village name in Russia
« on: Sunday 27 August 23 21:48 BST (UK) »
I have the newspaper obituary of Hulda Augusta Rhodey/Rohdey/Rode and it states the following
"Born Oct 12 1892 in "Zwales" Russia she was the daughter of Louise and Edward Rhodey."
I cannot find a town city or village called Zwales in any part of the world. I have researched on Google and Google maps.
Perhaps Zwales is not actually the place she was born but any advice would be appreciated.
