I don't think he understands that if you ask a question you are supposed to look to see if anyone has answered it.....and reply. I have tried to explain, ...fingers crossed.-jl

....or she could have been a widow when she conceived .

However, it's unlikely you are talking about the same woman given the dates !

Have you proof that the burial (whenever it was) relates to the woman who had the illegitimate child?

She could, of course, have marrried a man named Wright.

Or the son (presumably) who gave the info when she died , could have lied about her status........to save face

Frank,

I think that you need to check the dates in your post as something is very obviously not right. If Martha was born in c1724 I doubt that she would be buried (For the 1st time at least) in 1886.

Did you mean born c1824 or buried 1786 or are we talking about the worlds oldest person here (Died aged approx 162) ?

Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.
