I was pottering around on OH´s tree today and found a tree on ancestry with his Dad in it with 3 girls and 1 boy. :-0 :-0
We are now trying to work out whether the tree owner has made a mistake or if she/he knows something the family doesn´t as OH only has 2 sisters. It wouldn´t surprise OH at all to find he has a younger, older same age half sibling :-S

I also found a tree with just OH´s Dad in it birth and death dates ..nothing else and wonder if this was his girlfriends way of telling the family he was dead ! It actually was how the family found out as we received a notification from ancestry 2/3yrs ago asking if that was family. (OH had an account with them so I could use the freebie days) :-S

Researching:
Turner, Staniforth in Beighton and Ridgeway Sproat in Sheffield and Cumbria
