Do you mean it's been researched before OC?
OK found it - thanks OC. Sometimes I despair!!Last edited by Chrissie Smiff; 20-05-11, 16:48.Chrissie passed away in January 2020.

The thing is though Judith, if someone starts a "cold" search, the responders very often research around the specific information asked for, in order to get at the elusive information - in this case the 1861 census.
All that unnecessary work (which Chrissie did and then deleted, I think) could have been avoided by just nudging up the original thread and asking for the 1861 information.

Thank you OC, that's exactly the point. I spent ages this morning finding the marriage cert and all the various census to give me an idea of the overall picture. If fardon had used the thread where most of this had already been found it would have saved me all that precious time.Chrissie passed away in January 2020.
