Living "over the brush!"
Posted: 15 May 2019 11:51
Hi,
I would appreciated any thoughts on the following situation.
My 2x gt aunt, Ann Yale, had an illegitimate child. I have given her an unknown spouse with status, "never married".
She then married George and had 5 children. I have made George spouse no. 2 in the usual way. George died in 1874 in Stoke.
In 1881 she is living in dreadful conditions in Stoke with a chap named Henry Ford and she is recorded as his wife and the children all have the surname Ford. They do not have any children.
12 months later she has married the man next door, William Swinnerton, whose wife had just died. They were together for several years but had no children.
I have recorded William as husband no. 3 as they did marry but my query is, should I record Henry Ford as no. 3 with status "never married" making William no. 4 or just ignore Henry Ford?
This is only the tip of the iceberg for the lives of this line!
Any thoughts would be appreciated
