Hi all,
Milliepede. Sorry for the confusion, as you can see the families together is tantalising. I'll go into depths with the name Josh you supplied.
Bevj. Again sorry for the confusion.
Osprey. Correct I have all these record details.
Hallmark. I have extracted all I can from those records & I will revisit the resources Board.
Majm. Thank you for your comments. I have searched UK records for the family coming back - I would imagine as James was a mariner he perhaps worked his passage to help fund them getting back ( so that's one trail I can follow ) and I will search the resources board.
I am now living in Portugal
The only window I have in perhaps making a connection with these two families is from the date they got back and the 1861 Census!! And that's all I've got before totally giving up. I cannot find James birth so cannot find his parents. Other folks who have followed James in their trees have totally gone down the wrong avenue as I did, as on paper there is a logical but false trail!! a trap.
On the other hand Joseph George seems to be a non-conformist so records are scarce.
& I can't find his first wife!
I have visited most places in the UK personally to see if I could extract any more information but sadly nothing.
I've found long lost graves that we have tidied up and cleared away weeds. ( Just to underline I am not just sitting at home on the computer...
Thanks to you all, I didn't intend to get folks looking back over my old research request... but just that window of opportunity as mentioned.
Again many thanks to you all. Ken
