Well some people do just copy others info . personally I will look at what has been given but double check for myself

Williams marriage cert may help with his fathers full name, or finding him on any census with his parents would help too

Hi all, i was just wondering do people tend to copy each others trees without definatly knowing who it is, for example i have just got a birth cert for my 5x gt grandfather William Havelock Hughes born in 1858 Liverpool father is Robert Newton Hughes mother Ellen Hughes nee Anderton, yet on ancestry there are 7 public trees with father Robert Owen Hughes mother Rose Ann Smyth, as i have his birth cert i am sure i am going down the right road but then start to doubt myself with so many having William Havelock with the wrong parents, is this common?

regards Carol.
