Tati,
Thanks Tati this one has really give me something to chew on, Isaac Singer lives in the Frome area and is a Mason by trade his daughter Ann (Hannah) Singer marries James Bennett and they eventually move To St Helens Lancs where they run the Raven hotel, sometime around /after 1881 Sarah Singer joins them and is employed as a servant girl, Hannah died 1882, 1892 Sarah marries James Bennett, now we thought Sarah was Hannah's sister but Isaac never had a daughter called Sarah. Samuel Bridgman is a Masons labourer and lives with a Harriet Singer in or around Frome, coincidence or what? Harriet also has a Sarah the same age as the Sarah who goes to the Raven Hotel, is Harriet a relation of Isaacs and is Sarah Hannahs Cousin, any suggestions Tati.
Algy.

I don't really know - have you traced Isaac back to see if he has a sister Harriet?

[algy]

Where would I start with that one?

[Tati]
