Hi Thanks for adding the Wedge children
I've noticed on BCC there are 2 Josiah Blakemores born abt 1811 with the same parents (Phoebe Wedge and Josiah Blakemore), so the one with the least detail can be deleted.
Then, yes this thread can be archived.
Thank you
Jayne

Hi, I've not made progress on this since detailing the information about the Wedge family which could be put on BCC if there is time. The tree I was working on has gone to my friend who is planning to look over it with her brother, then I might get involved with it again, I'll see how they get on. I...

Great, thank you.
Just one tweak needed - the surname for Elizabeth born 1853 to Joseph Baker needs changing from Cooper to Baker

then ready for archiving

Thanks for the tweak It seems the name Blakeman was used rather than Blakemore between 1841 and 1851, or is it a different family?

Congratulations 200,000 so impressive!!

Thank you!
sorry if I’ve confused you, I think you’ve just added Thomas Baker in again born 1860/ 1861 so now he’s in twice.
He was baptism Jan 1861 so may have been born 1860 and already added by Margie in 2012, but I couldn’t find the GRO index for him.

Some of the children linked to Thomas Baker (b.1831) and Margaret Homer (b.1833) on the BCC tree do not seem to be their children e.g. from the evidence some appear to be nephews living with them on the 1861 census, and there may be one duplicate daughter. m First, here is the GRO birth index refere...

Great, thank you for all your replies. I was wondering whether the name Emily and Emma often get used for the same person, so thanks for saying they often get mixed up. I also wonder whether Joseph and Josiah often get mixed up too. Josiah b abt 1846 seems to be recorded as Joseph on the 1851 census...
