Are you guessing about who fathered Charles?

There is nothing anywhere to suggest that Richard (1860) married, and he doesn't appear on any census after 1871

This marriage would suggest that Charles, born 1890, son of Richard, married in 1906 aged 16.

Reggie

Reggie Report 3 Jan 2013 14:28

Unlikely.....one would have thought!


And the idea that Charles was the son of Richard born 1860 simply doesn't hold water, I'm afraid

Which - if any - of the Goodlands is a PROVEN relative of yours, Stephanie?
