Hi Emma, Dry your tears and put t'kettle on lass. You give no dates. Is it possible that the stray DO is a cousin of your line? Maybe one of Adam's grand or great grandsons? No ,he said, scratching his head. How does the Ormond slip into the Goodfellow line? Appears not through the Hoggs, but what about her mother? Adam's children could have had a Granny Hogg nee Goodfellow?

Thanks Jess, I didn't think that could be the case. I've tracked them all through every census and they're with the same people all the time. I've gone back on Margaret Ann Ormond's line till 1735 and the Derwick or Derrewick Ormond continues all the way back - I do hope that's not wasted info! Thanks, Em.

more than one marriage somewhere?

I thought I had this all sorted but have received 13 certs this morning to confirm my thoughts and I'm totally confused now. My late dad, his dad and his dad before him were all called Derwick Ormond Goodfellow from Alnwick and Amble in Northumberland. The earliest D.O. Goodfellow's father was called Adam though. From census returns he married a Margaret Ann. I have also found a family of Ormond's, father Derwick Ormond mother Jane Tait and daughter Margaret Ann Ormond. Ha ha I thought! My Adam Goodfellow married Margaret Ann Ormond and they named there first son by her fathers first name, her maiden name and then her new surname to make the strange combination of Derwick Ormond Goodfellow which has been a family name since 1870. But, Adam Goodfellow's marriage cert has arrived showing he married a Margaret Ann Hogg - and the birth cert for the earliet generation of Derwick Ormond Goodfellow shows mothers maiden name as Hogg also. I can't believe that these families aren't connected in some way because of the strange name but don't know what to look at next to try and clarify things. Any advice or ideas would be so gratefully received, Em
