Ha ha ha ha sorry about that , computer decided to crash bang wallop and I had to wait until saturday night for my son to arrive to fix it.. Well here goes..
I have the death cert for leonard and it turns out that Edward was not his dad Arthur was now... arthur was a lost relation that no-one seems to know what happened to him !! did he get alice preggers and then his brother married her ??? well no it seems that arthur married his hicks!! BUT on the death cert is says that the father was present at the death it does not mention the mother !! well I have ordered the birth cert to get the full name of the mother to see if it is indeed alice or another hicks!! but this is a weird one because - what are the chances of two couple both being Holtom & hicks marrying around the same time in the same village !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there is something not right here but I will get to the bottom of it as it is driving me nuts :) I will return as soon as the birth cert arrives

I.ve just checked ....but I have two Busbys who married two sisters ....when I looked they came from the same Village ......one male moved to London and sent form his girl married ...while his brother married and stayed in the village ! ...
The first then a generation became a Hicks

So it did happen ....prehaps more in villages where life was less open ....guess thats where the in-bred situations came from ....

Well no idea if alice had any sisters cos we cannot find her family but I seem to remember that it said only daughter on her stone, so i am going to have another look at the weekend and see exactly what it says, still waiting for the birth cert to come and still convinced there is a connection somewhere and still going to find it !!! ha ha keep you posted gang
