The Common Room / Re: Large gaps between d.o.b. of a grandparent and one of his/her grandchildren.

My grandfather John Luffman was born 1828.i was b1940. My younger brother was b1945. 112years between my grandfather and myself. 117 years between him and my brother. A remarriage at 66 plus a latish (40+) marriage in the next generation makes a difference to the time line.

No, I have been able to persuade her to test so far.

John Lightfoot and his second wife are one set of my wife's 3x great grandparents. His great grandson William was born at Hubbert's Bridge in 1859, and subsequently migrated to Doncaster where he married and stayed until his death in 1947.

Cambridgeshire / Re: Mary CORNWELL born c.1820 in Bottisham Lode

Mary Cornwell was baptised on 13th October 1822. Clearly at this time the specific branch of the clan were not Baptists. Thanks for the Ruth date of death and the fact she was recorded as Emma, that's how I missed her. This has just become complicated by the fact that I have a younger sister, Emma recorded as dying in 1878 (lived 1877-1878)

The family of my Ayres/Cornwell great grandparents,11 in all my grandfather Samuel (1868-1935) being the oldest, and James (1889-c1965) the youngest,5 of the 11 including Ruth had died by the 1911 census.There was a rumoured 12th Zebulon, but I believe he never happened in reality after intensive search. Sorry to partially hijack your thread.

That occurs in my own tree Peter, there is a strange case. My mother was born at Cambridge in September1903. The story I had from her and my grandmother was that Mum's youngest uncle, James Ayres, son of James Ayres (1845-1924) and Emily Cornwell (1850-1941) migrated to Australia in the summer of 1903. Referring to my grandmother's pregnancy he said "If it's a boy call him Jim after me!" My mother was known as Jim through out her 99 year life. Now the strange part.I have contact with his descandents in Australia, they have a different story in that he arrived in Australia early in 1911, having left England in November or December 1910. Pity is he didn't wait a few more months and get included in the 1911 census! Where was he from 1903-1910?

That s a very close relative.

Looking at painter,* these are the possible relationships

Add - it could be a multiple line match. I have a 3rd cousin who shows as much closer because his 2 x greats were (from memory) 2nd cousins. This is fairly common in small villages!

If  its from my mother's side then this is a very real possibility, the Ayres/ Cornwell/ Benstead and other families at Bottisham Lode nr Cambridge have intermarried for over three hundred years with at least one case of the son of an eldest child marrying the youngest sister of his father, so when I get my head round it this must be possible.Thanks for that Gadget.

Thanks for that. I plead incipient senility. Had forgotten the other thread. I am still reeling at this and need a little time to get my head round it.

Just a guess disappearance could suggest migration.
