oo im confused now i thought james was married to Mary Hodgson.

Ozibird

Ozibird Report 27 Oct 2007 21:52

Is John married to Ann with Randal, etc the person you are following?

If so, it's more likely he comes from a coal miner's family than an architect's.

Ozi.

Nicola

Nicola Report 27 Oct 2007 21:54

Yes they do have a son called randal

Nicola

Nicola Report 27 Oct 2007 22:04

Are you saying that the james im after was married to Esther and not mary.

Ozibird

Ozibird Report 27 Oct 2007 22:05

Hmmm.

I think you're going to need one of the children's birth certs.

Exactly who are you trying to connect & perhaps we can work backwards?

Ozi.


Update: Yes, there is a possibility it is the 2nd family. What info do you have for sure?
