Well they have THomas don't they but it doesn't look like the Thomas above. I wonder if it's a poor attempt at James? I notice that he does a very flourishing capital J elsewhere.Last edited by Chrissie Smiff; 20-03-13, 09:30.Chrissie passed away in January 2020.

Thanks Chrissie,
Yes,I agree.I have had this record for ages & thought it said Thomas,however looking at t today it does look more like James.This has thrown a massive spanner in the works regarding Elizabeth's as I have been working on Thomas as the father.However having had a re-look at censuses I think I have managed to get back on track with Elizabeth,just thankful that I didnt get too far back with Thomas Woodhouse.
Just goes to show not to take things at face value & to check,check & check again !!
