Who When Where

I've looked at your suggestions jonwarrn and they seem very plausible. 2 of the baptisms you mention I have, but not the one for John (possibly because of the 'mistake' in the mother's name. I certainly think it more likely than Elizabeth Gardiner, so I've deleted her from my tree. The only issue ab...

Thank you both for your input. I will look through them properly later today. I had a horrible feeling that there might be bits of census records missing.

My 3 x great grandfather Edward Lawrence (b 6/9/1807 Hampton, Middlesex, d 20/6/1865 Kensington) married Ellen (Eleanor) Cole (b 1805 Birmingham, d 18/2/1865 Kensington Workhouse) on 28/10/1838 in Fulham.

Perhaps you or some are all looking at the wrong WAY familes. Without seeing how each researcher traced back to the same WAY family it is hard to say, but it isn't unlikely that much tree copying has occurred. The fact that sister Jane can't be traced suggests it may be that baptisms didn't take pl...

Apologies for the fairly long preamble! I have a DNA match through Ancestry who is descended from this person and am trying to prove it to my own satisfaction rather than just relying on thrulines. John Way (b 1780) was a butcher, the son of John Way (b 1753 Atherfield, d 1820 Shorwell) and Frances ...
