Frustratingly, I tried to give you my email address, and rootschat removed it! Is there another way to private message? You could probably find me on ancestry... hubby's tree is GKWFamTreeMay18, (private)...
What am I missing in regards to James and the "Bolton"?
Oh and the South Australians are having a field day with their online trees that purport their John (son of Samuel) as being born in UK, and confusing Christopher's son Alfred with their Alfred. I tear my hair out all the time at those who copy family trees without trying to verify a single piece of information.
I've yet to find Ellen's death in USA... got waylaid last night with Gracie May Day... (gives me the giggles)!
We went to Worth & East Grinstead on our honeymoon... and St Mary's Lambeth (but it was closed for repairs,), and of course, all the Lincolnshire parishes. I've family on my own side that come from Brixton and etc. and a family at St Sepulchre, so I know the churches, the parishes and places reasonably well, which is handy. Hubby's ancestors and mine cross paths in Norfolk, Lincolnshire, Tasmania, Sydney, Feilding and Bay of Islands... but we don't match on DNA. Phew!!!
I do suspect there is a family bible though... as some trees are *almost* accurate, but purport a day/month and wrong year (when matched to civil/parish records), which is quite typical of oral/family traditions... and/or an Amy instead of Amelia kind of thing. As if, someone in hindsight, tried to recall the details of their Aunt/Uncle and nearly got it right. Somewhere out there is the mother lode!!! LOL
