Hi Pam, Thank you so much for trying to help. All the info you sent regarding the children of John & Elizabeth NASH has been sent to me several years ago, but although the person who sent me this tree has birth dates, he doesn't include locations to prove his data. The children seem to have been born in various places such as Staplehurst, Sandhurst and Rye. My William gives his place of birth on 3 different census as Smarden, Headcorn and Hothfield. I believe the latter to be the correct place, but don't believe his parents are John & Elizabeth, as so widely published. For this reason I need to prove it to inform his descendants they have the wrong family connection. The 1861 census info you gave is not the right William, mine was a 63 year old Labourer, living in Headcorn with his son, Charles and his married daughter and her family. Incidentally the marriage date for William to Ann GURR (b 1809) is also wrong, as it was 1826 and not 1811. There are so many flaws in this tree, it is difficult to know what to believe. I have been trying for years to find someone who can tell me how they know William was born on 10 March 1799, if they don't know where his birth or baptism took place, and perhaps I will never know. This said, I am not going to be another sheep following the flock who are so ready to believe every tree they see on Ancestry etc is true. Many thanks for your interest Sandra -----Original Message----- From: PAM BEER Sent: Saturday, June 30, 2012 10:22 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [KENT-ENG] NASH Hi There this is all I could find.Don't know if they are yours. But in the 1861 census he states he was born in Headcorn and was down as a widower and strangly a son ages 14?? William is a Labourer Grocer.
