Margaret, Great idea...but I already tried it. No one is listed under that name in that area.  So many people have cell phones instead of home phones now days that it's getting harder to find people!  Blessings, Rita Smallcombe Advertising/Marketing Director Mayfaire and Derbyshire Renaissance Festivals www.mayfaireren.com and www.derbyshirerenfaire.com Check out my art work at: www.pookafairystudio.com and our leather work at: www.highlandsleather.com CARPE TARTANAM!

Sometimes you only have one to go on though so it's tough.  My biggest beef is that she has my G grandmothers last name wrong.  I have several pieces of documentation that list the correct one.  If someone was to look at her tree they would go off in a completely wrong direction for that side of the family!  Blessings, Rita Smallcombe Advertising/Marketing Director Mayfaire and Derbyshire Renaissance Festivals www.mayfaireren.com and www.derbyshirerenfaire.com Check out my art work at: www.pookafairystudio.com and our leather work at: www.highlandsleather.com CARPE TARTANAM!

Just a word of caution here.  It is possible that birth and death certificates contain information that is not accurate.  The information given on those documents is sometimes provided during a time of stress (especially death certificates) and subject to being mis-remembered by the informant.  Sometimes the mother of an infant will attribute fatherhood to her husband when she had a dalliance with another man and got pregnant.  There are all manners of circumstances which might result in incorrect data on some of these sources, so it is best to take care when avowing that your data is correct.  I always try to get multiple corroborative sources whenever possible.  You can never have too much evidence, but having too little is all too common.
