Apart from George Coombs mystery nothing much more to throw in the pot.

I think his occupation is the reason why it is so hard to trace him.

Ben

anyone got any more to add?

Thought I'd give this a nudge

thanks Shelli!

Sorry everyone it was my url that mucked up the thread ( hangs head in shame)
Thanks Susan for the tip on how to reduce text, I don't have a mouse on laptop.

Have removed it totally as Joyce has already seen and acted upon it.

Ben, well done on that success.

All
I have PMd Shelli to get her to change the post that is causing problems.

Hi

I have had a success story recently with my great, great gran who was born illegitimate in Dec 1863 but whose mother Mary Ann Walder wed Thomas Roberts, a servant, just under 7 months later in July 1864. Thomas admitted fatherhood by baptising the child as his just after he wed the mother. I found that while the mother was pregnant, Thomas was still married and his wife had TB and died just 6 weeks before the birth, which explains everything.

Her death cert said "Phthisis, years certified". That would have given Thomas every chance to have an affair if his wife was laid up dying. They suddenly moved to London from Sussex after the birth.

Hi Joyce,

I am afraid you have stretched the thread so your posts can't be read. It may be the post with the long url on it. To rectify.....go to the post...click on edit and shorten the url by separation.
