nasty feeling that all the hard work done on your tree is about to go out the window :( That one tiny discrepancy, so small you don't notice it for two whole years lol )

xx

oo-er.

Sounds like a big problem!

I've only spotted two errors on my tree in the past - someone else spotted one of them for me - and as they were way back and recent work at the time it was not too much of a problem to sort it out.

Best of Luck with it though Rose!

Jill

Thanks Jill...I am not sure that the birth cert is going to help .Because I have always had so much census info ( and family stuff) on my gt grandfather and family , I had never thought to look for his specific DOB...looking at other things yesterday I realised he wasn't showing up when he should be ... but his parents marriage was.....a bit late lol.

Oo-er as well....

Hayley...I think I will give up lol... and for me to find that when my ancestry sub expires tomorrow ...well!

Funnily enough the last time i ordered a cert from the GRO it came in a large white envelope...do you think that could be the white package you predict coming .... !!

**sighs** I dont know but I did say you would be disappointed and it wasnt what you expected...

Oops.......I made a big mistake when I 1st started my tree. I linked my grt grandad with the wrong wife & parents..................When I realised my error, I had to delete about 50 names & apologies to a couple of people who thought they had a link with me. :o((

Maybe there are reasons for the discrepancies Rose & the link isn't in error.

Steve
:o)

lol Hayley, you will be the first to know!

Steve...I am sat here now looking at the photo of my gt grandfather ( definite) and his father, ...now in some doubt! (could be step father!) and trying to decide if they look enough alike lol

it will be a long couple of weeks!

i made a mistake i researched the wrong brown for 9 months
but i passes it on to his true family
and gr wiped him and his rellies off my tree for me
saving me weeks of deleting bless them

and i started that branch again with the right brown

dont give up Rose hun pick yourself up and start again

On the plus side, the hair is parted on the same side and the nose is the same lol

Crossing my fingers on it Joy, that he was just born before the marriage , and was his fathers son if you follow...I have a real feeling for this family...they have always been 'mine'

well dont give up hun

sometimes them feeling are right and ment to be there

i once visited a village miles from my home
fell in love with a cottage

and years later found my family used to live there

Slightly different I've had real problems with my FTM programme so I know what you mean..

Also, I made a mistake when I first started out, trusting 1881 census material that seemed to fit, only to discover that ancestor had died before then.

It meant that some ancestors weren't from Cornwall, never mind! (nearly 10 years later, I've only just found out her proper parents lol) I've never found his family though.....

However, I wouldn't change a thing. My Nan met some of her cousins for the first time because their family had made the same mistake as us. That was our connection lol.

Only shortly after they met, I realised our mistake and changed the tree but who knows? If I hadn't made a mistake, or if they hadn't made a mistake, we may not have met her cousins in time.

well there's one thing, I have just been looking at my gt grandmother instead ...and one of her grandfathers was a butler , the other a blacksmith ... :)

It is beginning to make the Irish side look simpler after all lol

xx

When i first started my tree, some how i went from Northaw
Hertfordshire to Bishops Stortford Hertfordshire ,
it was only when i got back to 1800s that i realised i was wrong .

Dont give up Rose.

Hi RR - I renewed my Anc. sub in November if you need anything.

Wassailing J* (until 12th Night)

Hi Rose

Let me know too if you need any help ...

Jill

Thanks J* and Jill :)

will see if they offer me a discount as they sometimes do and will try and get paperwork sorted in the meantime... and await the certs!

Rose, if everything else fits, chances are you're on the right track. My grandfather's ancestors don't appear to have registered any births until well after 1880 and I've not been able to locate many baptisms. Where they did marry, it was usually after the births of some of their children. Luckily I have had other info that backs stuff up enough but it's hard going;)

Hi Uggers, I have all of them mum,dad and son on the census following their marriage ...so at worst it looks like either they 'jumped the gun' a little lol, or that my gt gt took on his wife's son. Either way they are all the right people in the right places ...... and the 'blood line' is not as important as the fact they were all 'family' really :)) (jeez I sound like Peggy Mitchell lol)
