Well, he could of course. The only doubt in my mind is that he went backwards and forwards, and both jobs have considerable skill so it seems a bit odd. But people do what they have to don't they! |

Hi - I have Kate in 1882 being born - Kate Ormond Salt and then in 1911 - married (1905) - Kate Almond Salt with son William and some other children. She gives her father as John Thomas Salt ( deceased) on marriage certificate. Her age works too. Father is was Engine Driver and they were married in Flintshire. Starkey was new married name. She calls herself Catherine Almond Salt on marriage cert. |

I'm stumped - regardless of father, where on earth is she on census reports? This Ormond/Almond name must be a clue, but what? |

This is really mad. One starts thinking more and more wild things - maybe they lived in Scotland for a bit, maybe they changed their name (this actually happened to a family I was researching). |
