Find Ancestors

nice thought but not possible,when my grandad died dads brother-in-law took them and non of his belongings have ever been found.thats why it was so hard.but you got there in the end.

Pamela.
Such a relief for you that your dad was able to confirm our findings.
You will have to treasure those drawings of Robert as they are your other" proof"

i will.i have lots more relatives to find who knows what il find. but seriously without the help i got i would still be looking.

Good !!!!!!!!!!!!!

This sort of a discovery can be very 'upseting' for some people.

You are obviously O.K. with it !!

Enjoy the adventure into your 'new family name'

oh no i dont feel insecure i think its realy interesting.

Just don't worry about it - remember what I said - 'You are who you are' !! - One letter in a name creates a little interest but no reason to feel insecure!!!

very interesting! it will take some getting used to knowing all your ancesters had a slightly different name than you thought.

Well,

It looks as though you all have a new name!!

Does that mean that all your births and marriages are 'null and void' ??

Don't worry - names have always changed over the years - you are who you are (but you are really a Warrent!!)

Dea x

HEY! - what's a 't' between friends?

Dea x

and oh boy what a mystery

mystery solved

well iv just spoken to my dad and he said when he was a child his dad used to do drawings and he looked at one and saw the word warrent on it, but because robert was in the army dad assumed it was something to do with a warrent officer. a big thank you and well done for all your persiverance i know i wouldnt have got there on my own. thanks again pam

i know but it comes as a bit of a shock when its your own.blimey my dad will be shocked ,but like you say it has to be them. pam

Pam.
Read the other answers. Names do change over the years

no it couldnt have been my dad as his dad robert is warren pam

Pam.
I think your name has changed to Warren. Its more common than you think. My gt grandfather after he married started using his grandfathers name. His grandparents never married. My gt grand then registered all his children with the new name including my grandmother.
Technically you could say gran had the wrong name but that was her given name Her 8 brothers and sisters all have the same surname

Hi Pam

I have deleted my posts with the wrong family on them.

I agree with Jenna that Warrant is correct family. It often happens that names change down the years.

I have one line that began as McLay but is now McLean

pam,

it's definitely the correct family. i'd just assume the name changed over the generations. Do you have your father's birth certificate? It may be that he changed the spelling.

this is all confusing.some of it could make sense.samuel was a gardener,robert was a shoe finisher.my dad is roberts son,his name is bertie which was his mums brothers name.he had a brother robert and a sister rose both of which are in the warrent family.i think back then they carried names over to the next generation.but the name warrent is puzzeling me.i was a warren,my dad is a warren.roberts marriage cert he is warren.if it is the same family and the name got changed is there a way to find out how .andrew found warrent when i was first searching but i dissmissed it as my maiden name was warren.your all brilliant for finding this out.how do i move on? pam
