I am trying to work out if my brick wall Tomlinsons are connected to a tree on Genes. I have,
John Tomlinson born Belper Derbyshire c1842, from census as birth not found
John Tomlinson aged 21 married to Mary Spencer 1863 father of John is George Tomlinson on the cert
I have not been able to go back before the 1861 census.
My contact says John Tomlinson born Derbyshire 1844, is on the 1851 census with his parents John born 1811 and Elizabeth born 1826 and grandmother Hannah. This is the third marriage for this John b. 1811, so there are siblings and step siblings.
Myself i cannot see John born Belper 1842 and John born Derbyshire 1844 as the same man, but my contact has Mary Spencer as the wife and most of thier children with the right birthdates and places.
Has my contact got her Johns mixed up, she says her grandfather was my John`s brother and i haven`t found any siblings as yet.
Do i open my tree in case or not.
Any suggestions would be welcome please
Sylvia
