safc .................


there's something wrong with that marriage OR with the information that Christine has

Christine said John born 1839 Huby, York, married Mary J Cartwirght

BUT that marriage takes place in 1877 between Mary Jane Cartwright, age 18, b.ca 1859, and John Wilson age 21, therefore born ca 1856 ???????


and Sylvia found the 1871 with John married to a Mary Jane born ?????
