Hello Shelagh, I suppose it's really a matter of choice for the individual concerned as to how much or how little information you enter into your family tree. With my own CRAWSHAW tree I like to enter the details of every family that I manage to make a link with purely so I can see how many descendants one married couple actually have. If I make a connection with anyone I usually ask them for as much info that they can give me so that I can add it to the tree. I have just in the last few weeks been contacted by a man (I won't give his name, but the surname is WILSON) who I found out that his 2nd G.Grandmother was Ann CRAWSHAW who was a sister to my 4th G.Grandfather, George CRAWSHAW, so this new WILSON cousin would be a 4th Cousin, Twice Removed to me, so really there would be no real necessity for me to enter all of his family details to the CRAWSHAW tree but I have done so as it pads out the tree nicely and gives me an idea of how many extended cousins I have all over the world. Sorry to have rattled on there, it would be interesting to know what others think though.

Hi Jeremy, I noticed that you are researching the name DRABBLE on your paternal line. I have a son of an ancestor called William Drabble ROCH b. 1862 in Sheffield and wondered if you had a connection to the ROCH name. I haven't found a link to Drabble as yet. I don't know much about his father except he is called William ROCH and he died before 1871 (can't find him on the 1861 census). The father was married to Selina TOWERS b. 1836 in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. The name has been mis-spelt a number of times - ROCK/ROCHE/ROACH With regards to how far to spread the tree if I find a marriage I try to trace the descendants but not the ancestors of the person marrying into the family. This means that anyone in my family tree with the exception of the spouse are blood related in someway.

Hi Jeremy I missed the DRABBLE name until just now. I have a Hannah DRABBLE way back in my tree - she married my g-g-g-g-g-g-uncle, James HOWGATE in Sheffield in 1808. James was a cutler, born in Hooton Pagnell and seems to have moved back and forth between HP and Sheffield - children #1 and #3 were baptised in HP and the other 3 in Sheffield. Hannah seems to have died before 1827 when James remarried in HP. I haven't been able to find out anything about Hannah at all apart from the date of her marriage. Shelagh
