Hi One-namers When Charles Henry LAWS married Jane Herbert BOND at St.James Lambeth SRY on 17 Dec 1883 his elder brothers name James Walter LAWS appears where the father's name should be, the father James Snoad Laws having died three years before. Not come across this before, has anyone else?

Hi All I helped a friend to move earlier this week and took away several boxes of books that she did not want. Amongst them are the following: The Way We Went - Streets in nineteenth century Ipswich by Muriel Clegg (1989) Other Days in Witnesham A Suffolk Village (1985) A Century of Service - The County Councils of Suffolk 1889-1989 (1989) Stradbroke - Scenes from village history by Peter Rose (with notes about the ROSE family there) (1992) The Spoil of Melford Chuch - The Reformation in a Suffolk Parish by David Dymond & Clive Paine (1992) All are paperbook A4 format and Published by Salient Press, the Arts & Libraries Department of Suffolk County Council and I'll be happy to post them to anyone who would like them in return for stamps to cover the cost of postage. Hope that they're of interest to someone! Kind regards Polly

Yes, not that unusual in my experience. I've seen brothers and also uncles. I don't believe there's anything particularly significant about it. Human error, misunderstanding etc. Nigel Osborne (mobile) > On 17/12/2014, at 12:49 pm, John P Laws via <goons@rootsweb.com> wrote: > > Hi One-namers > > When Charles Henry LAWS married Jane Herbert BOND at St.James Lambeth SRY on > 17 Dec 1883 his elder brothers name James Walter LAWS appears where the > father's name should be, the father James Snoad Laws having died three years > before.
