Fanny and James Bannister were married in 1881 - I doubt whether he was the father of Emma and James (Mitchell) but we will probably never know!

Still trying to find death of James Wilkinson. Karina seems to think that either Emma didn't marry James, even though we think she fid in 1895n Skipton. Because with no death seeming to be between 1901 to 1905 when she remarried to Frederick Adams he either absconded, she absconded and as not listed as deceased on Edwards 1925 wedding certificate Emma or Katherine Emma could be a bigamist. Or they maybe got a divorce, rare in those days. Just because he wasn't down as deceased in 1925 doesn't mean he wasn't though does it?

Emma's dad was supposedly William Mitchell, a farmer. From her wedding certificate to James in Skipton in 1895.

If she is the one above then she was born illigitimately and in those instances people very often 'made up' a father to put on their marriage cert !

I will keep looking though to see if I can find one with a father to fit but I really think she was Fanny's child, although her actual father still could have been a William.

Thanks dea. She really is a woman of mystery. At least I'm confident that James Wilkinson is the correct one Nyway. Back on with this query as people from Canada and Australia have emailed to say they still looking for children of Emma and Frederick George, her second marriage. No sign of any except for Edward Wilkinson. :-)

Some children of the second marriage are on the 1911 census - posted on page one of this thread

Look for later ones using freebmd - easy to search using surname and MMN

The record for this person is officially closed. Can I get around this?

Unfortunately, the birth registration shows the tree to be dreadfully inaccurate

The person compiling it has fallen into the trap of taking Ancestry 'hints' as fact, and hasn't bothered to verify

Thanks for clarifying that George is the George Henry and not the george Kenneth. Thanks Erica. Well spotted. :-)

Thanks for connecting them, still haven't figured out how to do that.
Thankyou :-)
