As many of you know, Stevie2006 and I share a common ancester, Clara Pettitt.
Well, she has thrown us another conundrum in the form of her mother's (Sarah Poole) family.
Her father was William Poole but here is the query. Stevie has a birth cert for Sarah Poole dated 2.7.1840 Stepney, with Wllm as the father but with a Clara Dewar as mother and I have a cert for 18.9.1842 Bethnal Green, with Wllm as father but a Mary Ann Atkins as mother.
I have found a Clarissa Amelia Dewar with parents George and Susannah but I can't find any census mentions of her after that.
She has a mge in 1844, Whitechapel 2 512 and so does Wllm have a wedding with same details. (Although Sarah was born in 1840)
Mary Ann has a mge with a Wllm on 20.10.1833, Shoreditch.
WILL THE REAL MRS POOLE PLEASE STAND UP!
Apologies if I have rambled - Stevie have I missed any background info out?
Help appreciated for more Clara Pettitt family mysteries!
p.s. my dad has a couple of notebooks he used for his family history research with various Polle/Atkins info, I'll sift through it today.
