*Arc tbc* ---Careless/ Lees Connection

[mumbles]

I think I have sorted this family out but missing two possible pices of info :-
a) 1871 Census for Family
b) Wedding ( If they did Wed ) between Charles Lees and Ann Careless

Problem is a lot of children born out of wedlock ( with Ann Careless and her daughter Mary Careless) and changing names back and forth between Lees and Careless

Well spotted Jimmy,
I have put the Henshaws on bcc and traced further but did not spot relationship between Henshaw and Careless family.
I am interested in Henshaws of Northfield as my Great Great Aunt Sarah Brookes married a Stephen Henshaw of Northfield (On Bcc.)
Just had sad news that her daughter my oldest living Brookes relative died last week
