Scotland / baptism and order of birth
« on: Monday 01 April 24 19:15 BST (UK)  »
I have been trying to sort out relationships and looking at baptisms I notice that some children are numbered as being the nth child of John Doe and Mary Smith.This has been helpful but there are gaps
that is child no 5 but I can only find 2 other baptisms. My question is would stillbirths and children who died before baptism be included or is it just that other baptisms are not available for one reason or another

The Common Room / A surprising coincidence
« on: Tuesday 20 February 24 18:03 GMT (UK)  »
I have known for sometime that my ancestor James Minton, was involved along with his brother in law in 1804, in removing a page from the Longford parish records re: the baptism of William Tatlow. I had noted this but done nothing further.
I was looking through Longford Parish registers trying to sort out Goodall relatives, when to my surprise there  was the affidavit of Thomas Sutton (another relative) relating to the crime.
This has sparked my interest and I will now be seeing if I can find out why (money was involved) but I would like to know the outcome. both the criminal charges and the disposal of the estate.

The Common Room / Could an opifex be a tailor
« on: Thursday 14 December 23 19:54 GMT (UK)  »
I have a George Norman an opifex being the guarantor of a wedding licence. I also have the burial of a George Norman a tailor.
Is it possible that they are the same person, In the licence the groom was described as a tonsor, later he was described as a barber.

« on: Sunday 26 November 23 17:29 GMT (UK)  »
I recently saw the online picture of the wedding of John Mee and Elizabeth Ayre which took place December 1816, one of the witnesses appears to be T.Lord,  fine this could be her maternal grandfather Thomas Lord except I thought he had died in 1802,cousins and uncles don't seem to fit,wrong death ? or unknown so far?

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / I'm Confused about Parents 1 & 2
« on: Tuesday 17 October 23 22:54 BST (UK)  »
I recently received a match of 377cm  5% which is closer than any match other than a !st cousin (known).The shared matches, and there were a lot, were mainly to parent 2 which appears to be my maternal side, but there were a few to parent 1. One of these gave a suggestion for a common ancestor, this ancestor however is through my maternal's mother ggrandparents.
I have never found any relationship between any of my parents' ancestors.
