My great grandmother on my mother's side, Mary Jane. She was born in Ireland, moved to Scotland where she married or maybe not. Has given different dob's on all docs I have managed to find and has been married in at least 3 churches according to her children's Scottish birth records. She had a tough time lost many babies, came to England and had a husband die on her in the Asylum. I think I must ask my genes friends to help me on the other side. |

Muffy, it's not too bad when you find something nasty unexpectedly, but must be hard to go looking for it, if you see what I mean. So far I haven't found anyone with too terrible a secret. |

Yes! one branch was the be all and end all throughout my life and no others existed so I've largely ignored the former because they just weren't interesting enough any more. |

well I've just made something of a breakthrough, I hope, in that I have found a death which might match up, that and the name on a baptism are so far the only evidence that the lady existed. |

That's good Island :-) I had no idea about my paternal grandfather's side till a few years back, still some mysteries to solve there, but he also had lots of siblings! |

I have given up on three brick walls that I have struggled with which are key to expanding my tree, a George Wotherspoon, a James Patrick Clusker, and a Thomas Wotherspoon. |

A John Jones married a Rachel Jones in Llanelly, Brec in the 1850s. Neither was baptised there and both sets of parents were born out of county. |

I have neglected paternal gt grandfather and his father cos I'm stuck! Gt gt grandfather was a travelling cutler/brazier and I can't find him in any census or birth/marriage record and have no idea where he was born. I can find everything for gt grandfather except any of his siblings. I found his father and mother on a baptism cert for him. It was quite an eye opener for me as mum had often said dad was related to gipsies but I'd always thought she was joking!! |

Like many others on this thread, I have hit a brick wall with Irish ancestors, my 2nd great grandparents on my mother's side, prior to 1880 census. Had help from others on this site, but their origins and parentage remains a mystery. |

Definitely something odd happening with the posts! Maggie's and OFITG's posts appeared after I had posted at 13.29, they must have been hovering in the ether , or mine was lol. |

Not neglected just cant get any further with my German line. last I have is grt grandfather living with one of his married sons in 1907 when grt grandmother died in the German Hospital Dalston. He is gone by 1911 with no sign of where to . Cant find either some of the other sons that show on the 1891 and 1901 census. |
