For such a very very long time now I
have been trying to find the parents of my three times paternal great
grandfather. Three times great
granddaddy was James, and his wife was Susannah. The earliest census that is of
any use is the 1841. Now here’s the thing. James died in 1841, but in November.
Census night was in March. So where were these two ancestors of mine on census
night? Well not at home with their children I can tell you that. I’ve found a possible
James in a local tavern, but cannot find hide nor hair of Susannah. She remarried,
not until about seven years after she was widowed. Interestingly te person who
notified James death was his sister Charity. The mystery deepens.
I may have written about this quandary
before, so why am I writing abut it today? Give me a mo and I’ll explain. Go
back almost twelve months and I made contact with a fellow granny hunter. He
sent me the information he had which pretty much married up with my tree.
Unfortunately that was the extent of the contact that was up unit four days
ago. Four days ago I was looking through my previous contact list and thought
to myself ‘I’ll give it one more go, nothing to lose.’ Everything to gain though. A couple of days
later, there in my inbox was an email from my contact with the name of Four
times paternal Greatgrandaddy. Samuel.
Now I wonder who Samuel's parents were.
Lol
