I do know of the family dt, but they are on my husbands side. I added his Taylors of Langley and got a bit carried away on BCC. Perhaps Mark can add more information.

Probably in more ways than we realise

OK..blowing out the cobwebs and having a look....

Aha...involves the Murphy's so is guaranteed to be confusing....

There may not be an Emily in my tree....

James Fanthom married Florence Murphy in 1917.

This information comes from the Baptism Record of Florence which is in the in Archdiocese Archives in Birmingham.

Anybody baptised in the St Francis Xavier Roman Catholic Church also has brief marriage information listed on their baptism record.

Unfortunately when my cousin visited the archives the marriage register was not available so I do not know if they married at St Francis Xavier.

As usual with the Roman Catholic registers, they have yet to be indexed or even photographed so I have no more information about the marriage.

So that is why Fanthom are in my tree but I do not think Emily should be there.

Looking some more...

There are only two James Fanthom that match a birth around 1896. One is James Fanthom registered West Brom 1896 and a James William Fanthom registered West Brom in 1897.

James William Fanthom died in 1971 in Birmingham but I can;t see him on any census.

The James Fanthom who married Florence can be found in the 1901 and 1911 census with father Thomas and mother Annie but no Emily.

So I have removed Emily from my tree as there is no evidence she is related to my James.

Ok Thats allright then its what i thought . thanks Mark you have solved my problem. Dt

Sorry I cant be an in-law
