A bit – OK – a lot confused.
My gg grandfather was George Atherley born in Mansfield c.1816. His father, according to the IGI and George’s marriage certificate was Henry Atherley. I have found a Henry Atherley on the 1851 Census – living in Mansfield/born in Ilkeston c1786. I have also found (Pallot’s and parish extracts) the marriage between Henry A (no place of birth given ) and Sarah Berry, in Nottingham. Census records also show – neither here nor there but... Philip Atherley born in Ilkeston around the same time as Henry. Ilkeston IGI records show Henry and Philip as brothers. I thought I had the right Henry Atherley BUT the IGI gives a marriage for HA (b.1782 Ilkeston) to Mary Litherland, in Leicestershire and he is on an Ancestry tree, with Mary L and their descendants. I can’t find another HA and I know intuition is no guarantee – I feel that he is my ggg grandfather – how can I confirm it!
