Don’t worry. Whilst it was probably best to start a new thread other peoples spats had nothing to do with you.

No I don’t look for problems but respectful you do seem to monitor what people post and make unnecessary remarks sometimes

And my iPad decided to spell check your name so I have admonished it !! :-)

I was merely questioning - not intending to ‘admonish’’ as you put it

Perhaps you look for problems ;-) ;-) ;-)

BTW - no ‘c’ in my name, so you ARE seeing something which doesn’t exist ;-) ;-) ;-)

Catherine has only posted 8 times so possibly was doing a surname search

Really don’t think it’s nice admonishing people who may not have much researching experience

We all started from zilch and had to learn our way

The MMN will be on the birth record on freebmd

You could then look for marriages, but, as the names are common, there may be more than one potential union. Certainty can be assured by buying a copy of the birth cert

Not sure why you’ve added to this 13-year-old thread, rather than starting one of you own :-S

No, in 1861 Frederick is a brother. I hoped he might lead us to Charles, but no luck.

Sorry I'm not with you...are you saying that Frederick Wright is really Charles? Brother maybe, or twin? Lynn

I don't think 1901 is the wrong couple. I think it's just an error on somebody's part.
