Hi John This actually seems straightforward and thanks to L Harris. I had a little trouble with my computer but my hour produced (please double check entries done from memory & spellcheck ignored) Question I what is the difference between a dustman and a cleansing operative, likewise what is the difference between a watchmaker(finisher) jewellery assistant and horologist (studier of clocks /time ) Michael Graham Laws b 1822 married Clare Broom Lucas 1849 Kent (among others son Michael Graham Laws b1852)died 1885 Croydon. MGL (1822) married Sarah Jane Older or Elphick 1889 in Croydon and died in 1891 in Croydon Sarah Jane is traceable in Surrey to at least age 71 MGL (1852) married Edith Sage( b1863 Bristol ) in 1885 in Croydon .MGL appears to have died in Hull in 1931 and Edith in Newcastle under Lyme in 1948. Edith is the daughter of a Baptist minister & spent early years at school & training college in London. -----Original Message----- From: goons-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:goons-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of John P Laws via Sent: 09 February 2015 00:55 To: goons@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [G] Today's search Thank you Derek and Graham for your help I am a subscriber to both FMP and Ancestry but even with the data supplied I can't find this record which I should like to see so as to construct a citation, and comply with some sort of genealogical proof standard & now finding the father creates more problems than it solves as I already have a candidate in my database, in the data supplied Michael G LAWS gives his occupation as jewellers assistant, mine Michael Graeme LAWS born same time is a Horologist they both have a son Arthur S LAWS both born same year and place, so you see my dilemma. Oh yes and my guy is married to someone else just cap it all. _____________________________________________ RootsWeb lists - surnames, regions, software, etc http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to GOONS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
