Thanks Robin, I got so tied up in the Priscilla/Mary Ann bit I neglected that bit. Samuels, James or even Frederick at a push could be the father. Will check them out tonight. Jools lol :))) Kat |

Kat Hallo! Can't help, but sympathise. I have some Norfolk bastards. My great-grandmother Ruth was illegitimate and the bastardy bonds relating to her parish don't survive, so I will have two blank boxes for a set of great-great grandparents, sob! Meanwhile, Ruth's husband's aunt Elizabeth was a naughty girl. She had an illegitimate son called Octavian in 1847 and then in 1859 an illegitimate daughter called Mary Timbers Gray. Although Timbers might be a clue to her father, I can't find a likely male around. Even more shocking, Mary wasn't baptised until 1864!!! OOOOHHHH! Mind you, you can console yourself with the thought that at least some of the children on birth certs with legitimate fathers might not actually have the real dad's name on the cert, eh! Oh la la! nell |

LOL you two!! But hey all is not lost, I followed Robin's hunch and checked the marriages of the other menfolk and the birth of Thomas. James was married june 1839 and among the spouses was a Mary Ann Banks. Am sending for the cert to eliminate Mary Ann as born a Sharman allowing MY Mary Ann to be Samuel and Sarah's daughter as on the extracted birth IGI and parish records Please keep all fingers crossed for me. MMMMwwwaaah xx to Robin, at least til I get the cert!! Kat ...can't wait now, how long are the certs taking to arrive. My last 4 took nearly 6 weeks. |
