I'll let this one drop out of sight now then if people are going to post on Lynda's thread instead, no point having two threads the same.

I have never noticed before, and often wondered how anyone could have had relatives removed from their trees.
The other day I went into my tree to add a few new people... and found that I too had relatives missing!
I had to first add them
(AGAIN) so that I could put my new finds in!
How could that happen?

I have not noticed that happen Deanna, but have to say I have not studied my tree closely lately on here. Perhaps I should !!!!


Joyce, are they together in the 1901?

Picking up on Glenda's query, have you got the deaths of Robert and Phoebe and if post 1881 have you found them on the 1881?

My subscription for emerald ancestors will run out soon so if anyone wants a look up let me know. ( Northern Ireland ) Please go on to the site first and use the search engine and if you see one you think is yours then I will extract further details...... Then it is up to you to send for the certificate which will give even more details.

Want some news??????



They divorced in 1904. Malcolm divorced Helen.



See this page.



You won't see any information on there tho. Email National archives and they'll give you a quote for a copy of the divorce papers. I can't recall exactly what they charged me but defo under £10 am sure it was about £7.

If you need any help om me

Hi Joyce,

I am afraid you have stretched the thread so your posts can't be read. It may be the post with the long url on it. To rectify.....go to the post...click on edit and shorten the url by separation.

Hi

I have had a success story recently with my great, great gran who was born illegitimate in Dec 1863 but whose mother Mary Ann Walder wed Thomas Roberts, a servant, just under 7 months later in July 1864. Thomas admitted fatherhood by baptising the child as his just after he wed the mother. I found that while the mother was pregnant, Thomas was still married and his wife had TB and died just 6 weeks before the birth, which explains everything.

Her death cert said "Phthisis, years certified". That would have given Thomas every chance to have an affair if his wife was laid up dying. They suddenly moved to London from Sussex after the birth.
