« on: Sunday 29 March 20 18:28 BST (UK)  »
Looking for Susanna Dalby was baptised in St Peters & St Pauls Exton Rutland on 1 Aug 1819 to Thomas Dalby and wife Mary (nee Newbold) she was their first child........then nothing ::)

'Potentially' she 'could be' the 20yr old in  St Matthew, Ipswich, Suffolk in the home of John Bantoft, wife and children although 'I think' it is claimed she was born in country ( Suffolk)

Norfolk / Aldon Norfolk
« on: Saturday 23 March 19 14:25 GMT (UK)  »
Lousia Aldon ( some variants of spellings) was baptised in Billingsford, Norfolk on 7 Jun 1767 parents named are William and Elizabeth however I can't find any records about William or Elizabeth.

A William was buried in Billingsford, Norfolk 1829 aged 73yr meaning DoB for that William is c 1756, so not 'my' William, however that one is likely to be the son of Amos Alden married Phillipa Wallis so potentially Amos and my William 'could be' siblings

The Lighter Side / Lawyer Hurdle Maker????
« on: Monday 15 October 18 22:49 BST (UK)  »
Just been doing some census research and was confused at the occupation I found "Lawyer Hurdle Maker" so having checked old occupations etc etc though I would ask the experts

...... then my brain clicked into gear and I realised it was not Lawyer Hurdle Maker but Sawyer Hurdle Maker being as in previous census he was a Wood Sawyer ... so thought I would share what a numpty I am instead  ::) being as I have typed most of this

Nottinghamshire / East Stoke Nottinghamshire PR look up please
« on: Sunday 14 October 18 16:55 BST (UK)  »
Mary Stimson married George Dewey on 23 May 1763 East Stoke Nottinghamshire he was 23, she was 26.

So that means she was born c1737 likely in East Stoke. Could someone who has access the East Stoke PRs check and see if that is the case and see if she was in fact baptised there / what date( I think her parents were Wm/Mary)

They had their children baptised in Bottesford Leicestershire and I have a burial date for George but not for Mary in Bottesford but I don't know where George came from

The Lighter Side / When PRs are misleading
« on: Monday 13 August 18 15:52 BST (UK)  »
When researching I always trying to find each and every real record in the lifetime of each ancestor, so I can cross reference them and be as sure as possible I have my ancestors and not some collected data/name that 'fits'

So early on I found this difficult ( pre internet) as my great grandfather was born/baptised with one name, born in one county, added his mothers surname, got married, then  moved to another county and took a new completely different name, after his first wife died he married again and stated two different names as his father on each of his marriage certs, died and was registered using his 'new name' and 'his' gravestone in the village is not even where he is buried.......... phew!

I know both 'fathers' are not his father, one being his grandfather the other his uncle (his mums brother) I also know he knew very well he lied..... thankfully there are enough real records to prove all this.

BUT.........it gets much more difficult to prove people earlier on finding enough connecting records or records full stop.

I always thought he can't be the only one to lie.... found others on marriage certs who removed or added many years to their age to better fit nearer to the age of the person they were marrying.

Just recently I have found two separate ancestors both who on the marriage PR name 'their father' as someone different to who he is. I have researched and re-researched to check for other records which might prove one or the other. Both it seems are naming older brothers instead of their father.

What do I do? These names are not their fathers (according to other records) but they stated as their father on the PRs
