Hi,
I'm new I've exhausted the ancestry site so I googled to see if I could find anything to help I have a huge dead end in my family tree. I've tried going around it every which way using siblings and uncles but I just can't budge this mystery.
My first mystery is my William Clark family tree. It blends with Baxter in Yelling. The issue is on the 1881 census it shows grandad James Baxter living with his son Thomas and Sarah Baxter. But I can't find any other census with his name on. There's a lot of John Baxters and even a typo of Boxter on one census. I can't ascertain if its John or James Baxter 1822/1862 but Thomas and Sarah Baxter are on every census from 1841- 1911.
My Grandmother is a banardos child and rumour is my grandfather Willie Clark walked to London as a navie when he met her working for the Tate family. She lied about her age to marry him and escape back to huntingdon. The landlord reclaimed his land after seeing them do well so they moved to Bedfordshire. I can't find Mary Miles on any papers or surveys. So I'm wondering if anyone knows of her. Or my great grandfather, who was known as a bit desperate to sell off children as he had 13.
