Old thread, but an update on the Gorton-Payne situation. Very interesting actually.

William G (no longer certain his middle name was Henry) married Patty P

Their son

William Henry married Susan P the daughter of Patty's brother.

Their Son

William Vernon G married the granddaughter of another of Patty's brothers.

Guess they liked keeping it in the family.

Hi Gut,

What is your source please?

I would imagine the surname to be something more like Rennie rather than Rennex?

Annie

My source my mum was a Rennex, till she married dad, she is still alive, I knew her dad, my grandfather very well, it was his mum.

Now was it Rennie somewhere back in the past, maybe, but I have it as Rennex back a fair way. I don't have that computer with me at the moment.

I too am descended from James and Janet, via another Christina, who married James Rennex.

The Lighter Side / Re: 6 generations alive at one time - can anyone equal this??
« on: Monday 23 January 17 02:45 GMT (UK)  »
my family had a long history of first children being conceived at a young age, great great grandmother was 13 great grandmother was 14, but in many cases the first few were boys, if first born had been a girl each time it would have been easy to have had six or even seven generations alive at once, the most I knew if, in my line in my life time was 5, generations, but out of that one was the sixth child and one was male.

The Common Room / Re: What is a Mason
« on: Saturday 14 January 17 08:36 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
One of my great ancestors was a Mason in rural shropshire. What was a mason? Was it a builder? It was generally a mining/ farming community. Also in 1872 he appeared to buy a cottage for £125. What sort of money would this be today?
Thanks

Almost impossible to sort money, but think of it this way in 1870 average wage in England was around 50d a day, so 25s a week (6 day week) which is about 1 1/4 pound a week, so about 100 weeks wages for the house.

I've got a few in my tree.

But it seems the first was in hubby's church and then after he died again in the church wife's brother was Vicar at.

Possibly (probably) the first divorce wasn't granted.
