OK so Thomas ROLLINGS b. 1848 - his wife was not born BEARD but was first married to a BEARD? And is actually nee GLOVER.

Thomas was my 1st cousin 5x removed so I am interested in this line!

Hi allycat, suspecting you meant to say Sarah RIDGEWELL died bef 1851?
who seems to have died 7 AUG 1853 at Histon, Cambridgeshire.
William must have remarried 8 months later, 27 MAY 1854 at Madingley, Cambridge (IGI) and promptly migrated.

Yes the confusing profusion of inter-family marriages had me head-butting brick walls for a year, 'till a lady (Vera) pointed out the Glover/Beard marriage.
Kazza I think we've been in touch via rootsweb before?, your tree there has been a major source for sorting out.  Thomas Rollings1848 is my wife Karen's 2nd great granduncle.

Just now updated rootsweb tree but still working on it

Hi all, I've finally completed a chart which shows the intricate inter-family relationships surrounding Obadiah William TURNER and Ruth ROLLINGS



Every person mentioned in this thread is probably in it although I haven't checked.
the background picture is Obadiah's farm "Hilltop" near Bundarra in the 1950's

Wow.  I have never seen anything like it!  Must have taken a long time to complete.

Only a couple of weeks of great fun arranging everyone, once I'd got enough data and you know how long that can take.
My thanks to all who contributed, knowingly and otherwise
