I have something similar myself, in the similarity of name and a dedicated web site, but, the website owner has confirmed that though his ancestry has been taken back to 15th century, there is no link with mine with his. http://www/dun.org.uk As far as I know there was no compulsion to recording a birth, marriage or death, prior to 1855. Where is the certainty? If someone knows differently for the purpose of English records please correct me because most of my ancestry is in Scotland. For instance, in 1818 it was not necessary to have a marriage licence in England. I have a copy of a Marriage Bond for a Liverpool marriage. There's no information there as to the parent of the parties to the marriage. What I am saying is that earler records, those in the 15th century have to be viewed with caution because there is no certainty, other than having a paper document confirming the record that someone was married in 14 [something or other] The problem is that people who are pursing genealogy are grabbing at names believing they are theirs, and even though they might be the same, it may not be that they are related. Of course, if you have Royal blood, then that's a different story. d;^) Janet. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Chapman" <paul.chapman286@ntlworld.com> > It is true that I have not checked it all out myself but there is little > doubt about the authenticity.

It is true that I have not checked it all out myself but there is little doubt about the authenticity. It really helps to have an unusual name. I started with my great grandmother's death certificate - all that I knew was that her name was Margaret Chapman and she died in 1932. However, I was able to track her back through the census returns to 1881 when she had her mother living with her - by the name of Hannah Wildgoose, which had to be her maiden name.

OK Errol Next time I am in Liverpool I will have a look in the records, for it will be of interest to us both. Which church were William and Jane using for the baptism of their children? Most of my relatives used either St Peters or St Nicolas churches. Prior to their marriage Thomas Blundell and Jane Griffiths lived in Vauxhall Road. After their marriage they lived at House No 3, No 3 Court Eccles Street. They had eleven children, eight of whom died before they were five years old.
