As Ive got back into my tree lately after being pretty slack about it for a year or more, Ive been looking up LMA records on ancestry which were not available 6 years back. Well, I was gobsmacked to find my GGF's marriage cert (I thought Id bought that one) mistranscribed as Hawson rather than Hanson but there it was AND the wife, Maria Taylor, who I had somehow tied in with a victualling family for over 6 years now gives a different first name for her father to the one I have AND he is a wood carver, not victualler.
I sat here mouth open as I would have staked money on having the right line for her, she has the same birth year as another Maria, born same area - may very well be related, havent checked that out yet.
But just to say, dont be complacent you have the right records, as I said, for 6 years Ive believed I had the right girl and now - back to the drawing board.
