I think I'm losing the plot.
My great uncle was William Lines, born abt.1892, Wheathampstead, Hertfordshire. A couple of discrepancies reference the date of death and also about his marriage.
The parents of William LINES were Alfred George LINES (known as George) and Anne CRANE.....siblings were Emily 1875 (my grandmother), Mary Ann 1873, Ada 1878, Eleanor 1882, Alice Rose (known as Rose)1884 and Richard Crane 1869 (born before marriage of mother Ann Crane). All born Wheathampstead except Richard Crane)
First of all, were there TWO William Lines born at that time ? One called William and one called William George ?
Also, was his death in 1901, as many have entered on Ancestry or was it in 1953 ?
In a book I have of The Folly, Wheathampstead, there is a picture of Rose Lines having been evicted....the photograph and report were published 13th March 1953. It also says that her invalid husband William Lines had been removed by ambulance and taken to St. AlbansCity Hospital, the day before the eviction. The book also states that William was declared unfit through WW1 to serve. So were there two William LINES (one William and one William George ?)
Was he married to Rose STANFORD, or was he married to Rose FISHER ? Possibly married to one of them in 1916. The 1939 register shows William's wife as Lines and then its crossed through and Stanford and initial E in place of Lines, but members on Ancestry also show as Fisher.
I am TOTALLY confused. Can anyone sort out this muddle for me ?
Many thanks.
