I am finding that some details that I thought were solid now look suspect. For example Mary Ann Colthup. I had her as the daughter of William Colthup and Harriett Cracknell.
1861:
Name Relation Condition Sex Age Birth Year Occupation Where born
COLTHUP, William Husband Married M 58 1803 General Dealer ..., Kent
COLTHUP, Harriett Wife Married F 49 1812 Paddington
COLTHUP, William R Son Unmarried M 19 1842 Merchant Clerk Bishopgate St Brides
COLTHUP, Jane Daughter Unmarried F 19 1842 Shopwoman ...
COLTHUP, Mary Ann Daughter Unmarried F 15 1846 St Clement Strand
COLTHUP, Frederick Son Unmarried M 8 1853 School Bethnal Green
Piece:272
Folio:111
Page: 15
Registration District: Whitechapel
Civil Parish: Whitechapel
Municipal Borough:
Address: 19, Wells Yard, Whitechapel
County: London
The only person of this name and age is:
COLTHUP, MARY ANN Mother's Maiden Surname: DUNDERDALE
GRO Reference: 1845 S Quarter in OF SAINT GEORGE THE MARTYR SOUTHWARK Volume 04 Page 452
Frederick who was born later has Mother's Maiden Surname Cracknell so it is not that William remarried.
So I was quite happy until the GRO dropped the Dunderdale bombshell. Any ideas?
