Thanks Steve and John, obviously I'd made the wrong connections but now, thanks to you, I think I'm back on the right track. As you say the suggestions that Ancestry makes are many and spurious but, I guess, there's temptation there as well.

its easy to get thrown off the scent with trees like this http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/tree/29028/family?cfpid=6595041655.

There is a lot of confusion can arise specially when looking at such a common name as this. I don't know what criteria Ancestry uses to make links ans suggestions but they are often wrong and misleading.


Obviously Spoglet's Letchford family tree is incorrect and not verified, don't believe them until you check them out. He's even got Abel married to a Caroline King.rubbish.

What makes that tree, even more amazing(hilarious actually), is the birth of 10 children after her(Caroline) death in 1853. ;D ;D

This is how the Astwood Wright's tree should look....

http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/tree/38984331/family

note low numbers of multiple births in different parts of the county, multiple marriage's and children being born to people who have died.

Cant find anyone linked to Chesham from Astwood.
