Is it safe to put these marriages on tribal. I notice that a lot of the Shaws from RR are Gunsmiths ie Aaron wife Susanna and from the Old hill area. I wonder if there are any other missing Bakers marriages at Clent???
Suki

Just noticed on Tribal a marriage for Susannah Baker and Aaron Shaw Old Swin.does this tie in.

If you feel that this connection is a good one then go for it mumbles.
Maybe use the notes section so people can see your reasoning.
Does that sound ok?

I will insert as soon as possible. Rugby at weekend and I am immersed in research of Black Country People who moved to Liverpool in 19th Century at moment. Link is working well and I have had good response from Liverpool.

Nice one Mumbles

So this looks like it is now sorted....and unless otherwise advised will be moved to archived section within 24 hrs

Nl,
All inserted but notes did not come out with correct spacing when inserted , perhaps you could adjust ? Under Elizabeth Baker

Just to let you know to add a line space in the notes on Connections just put in the following after your wording
