Hi folks,

Just checking some of my BCC info. There are 2 Richard Summers born 1847 on BCC. Is it the same person?

and

http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =644704309

The Summers and Garratt families connect, but the Richard who marries Phoebe Garratt does not have Maria Summers (who marries Samuel Garratt - Phoebes brother) as his sister.

Does that make sense

Hi NL

I've got all the same info as you have above. But I'm sure that I found them in 1861 with Ann and Thomas living seperately. I can't find them on FMP in 1861, so I'm thinking that it may have been FreeCen.
I have a copy of the marriage cert for Maria Summers and Samuel Garratt. The writing is not very good and her fathers name has been abbreviated to Thos, but it is quite hard to make out.

Think this is them, what do you reckon?

that John Garratt clinches it

Well, no wonder I couldn't find hem on FMP, just had another look and searched for others in the same household.

1861

Ann Somers has been transcribed as Ann Garratt - her son John and daughter Maria have not been transcribed at all When I looked at the original image John Garratt and Ann are at the bottom of the page so John and Maria Somers should be at the top of the next image, but they're not - any ideas They must be on the pages that FreeCen have so why not FMP?

Thomas, William and Richard Somers have been transcribed as EVANS!!!!!! Have looked at image and it's not Evans - have reported it to FMP.

Thomas is described as a widow, and Ann as a housekeeper!!!

It looks like Ann Somers and John Garratt were - dare I say it - living together.

I have linked this now

Cid can you go in and amend the census info to what the original says!
cos thought that was the original you presented

we need to put what is on the original
can someone show it pls and we can alter

interesting

Well maybe I misjudged them........

1871 at Hill Street, Netherton

SUMMERS, James Head M 68 1803 Waggonner - looks like - Witley Worcestershire
SUMMERS, Ann Wife F 56 1815 Rock Worcestershire
PORTMAN, Mary Ann Boarder F 8 1863 Netherton Worcestershire

Ages are a bit out and now Thomas appears to be James but the Portman connection is there,

Ideas please

Sos about the FreeCen info, they don't have images had to wait til I got home to look at images. Will add info to BCC now

Cid


Have added a note in census info for 1861 that John and Maria are not on the pages that I can see. All the rest of the info is correct to the original. I will do more digging.

Cid

rite I am lost on this now
prob cos my head is full of umpteen lookups

Ok I have linked Richard to Thomas and ann
I think that PR is wrong

or....John is his father....John Garratt

interesting....

All census info on looks ok to the images, have added a note re John and Maria in 1861 - here http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =734021839

Not added 1871 info til I get the go ahead.

You're lost !!!!!

think Richard is Thomas's son as they are all togehter in 1851 - 4 years after Richard's birth.
1861 Ann is living with John Garratt, on the image she is down as a housekeeper NOT wife. Thomas is with his children, including Richard.
1871 They appear to be back together, although Thomas is now named James.........and the ages are out a bit. But they do have the Portman grandchild living with them albeit down as a lodger.....

Someone get me an ancestor SatNav

Ok can you add the 1871 pls to the notes Cid on BCC

Can you check that what we have in notes on BCC is correct too

So one question where are Maria and that John on 1861?
cos you said Thomas is with the children in 1861 does that mean with maria and John
I want the notes to reflect the images/census

and I have lost it with this lot

Ok NL. I have been c.i.d.ing

1861

On FreeCen John and Maria Somers are with their mother Ann Somers and John Garratt. But you cannot see the actual images on FreeCen. But I don't see how they could make them up and get the info right.
On FMP John Garratt and Ann Somers are the only two transcribed as living in the house. (She is transcribed as Ann Garratt but the image says Somers, I have told FMP). They are on the bottom of the page.
The ref. number at the start of the line is 354.
On FreeCen the ref. nos. show that this family crosses over to the next page, when I view the next image on FMP the numbers do not carry on........so I think that FMP must have a page missing.

I have the actual Staffs Discs, so had a look at them and low and behold entry no. 354 is at the bottom of one page and the top of the next, and there is John and Maria Somers in the same house as John Garratt and Ann Somers.

I think that clinches it and will amend BCC later if you agree. I will aso add the 1871 as that looks good too.

Enough detective work for this morning, I'm off to have a coffee
