Mostly I have found the family announcements in the papers really helpful, often pointing me to the records that I'd otherwise failed to find. But in trying to sort out one family, there seems to be not one brick wall, but a positive fortress, reinforced by contradiction! If anyone can link any of these to any records at all, I'd be endlessly grateful. Thank you to all - as always on RootsChat.
