Just had to share this!
Looking at my Barratts (aka Barretts) I have some parts of my tree I am really not sure about. A lot of similar names with similar dates of birth in East London. Whilst I have been looking at records on Ancestry, I have seen a lot with corrections attached to them that would make my tree very wrong and I had started to doubt my research. I have traced most of the corrections back to this very wrong tree. It looks like the tree owner has attached every Barratt she could find!
Henry John Barratt 1819-1886, born and died in Staffordshire and had 3 wives.
The first, Marina Johnson 1821-1891, he had 44 (that isn't a typo!) children with from 1828 to 1870. These included my Barratts who were all born in London as well as some from all over the UK
The second, Elizabeth Barratt 1816-1883 he had 8 children with from 1846 to 1860
Finally Unknown who he had 3 with from 1849 to 1862.
He also appears (according to this tree owner) on 7 1851 censuses, 8 1861 censuses, 6 1871 censuses, 4 1881 censuses, as well as appearing on the 1891 and 1901 after he died!
Also there are 65,588 people in this tree
