What I have found needs to be verified with actual births, marriages etc but pretty sure on the right track. With the "backbone" sorted you can then carry on. Just remember, especially on census, that nick-names were often used rather than their given names and, spelling can be all over the place so, be a little creative on phoentic spellings if necessary Good luck Ell Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
