Yes ... but you go above and beyond!
This line now turns out not to be mine after all ... the more I researched it, the more inconsistencies arose until eventually I concluded it was untenable.
But the work may not be wasted, as others may chance along who have correctly traced their lines back to this marriage and are having the same difficulty with construing the register.
It gets frustrating at this point, doesn't it? I've traced all of my straightforward lines, and now I'm working on the difficult ones ... the ones that don't seem to make sense or which appear to have spring out of thin air. A whisper here, a hint there gives something that appears to be a promising lead. You follow it up ... try to make sense of it ... test the pieces to see if it fits ... and eventually it becomes clear that it doesn't and you've been off on yet another wild goose chase.
The problem is ... there are so MANY wild gooses out there!!
(One name I googled and came up with a dozen or so hits ... all of which were online trees or genealogical accounts, and every one of which had drawn different conclusions as to parentage, identity of wife, names and numbers of children etc.)
