Thanks for reading this far!
I have a bit of an issue with James's birth dates, poss bap 1844 - 1852 youngest he ever states.
I cannot find Mary Ann/Ann in 1861- presumably around Ettingshall somewhere.
Ann Richards is never Mary Ann Richards!
My James is not the one in Ditton Priors, in 1851/1861-
I do not agree with the other two trees on ancestry that have his mother as Ann Cooper.
Do you think my research looks ok?
Can you find my James before 1871?
Wow, that was a mission just writing it all out.
over to you RC community.
