Wow, that's a big age difference between each child!

Linda

Linda Report 16 Mar 2008 01:53

Lewella sorry all the children were born in Devon

Lewella

Lewella Report 16 Mar 2008 01:56

Something doesn't add up. If they had their first child in 1890 and the last in 1948, there is a 58 year difference and I'm positive she couldn't have had children at that age!

I'm sorry, Linda, but nothing is coming up. Exactly what information do you have? Eg, What was your mother's married name? When did she die?

Linda

Linda Report 16 Mar 2008 02:09

You are right I asked my older siblings and that is when they thought he was born, yes it is a big diffrence so i think i will go back and ask again,i must be just writing things down without working it out, thanks for pointing it out!.

If we're to help you, we have to start now and work backwards. Firstly, you need your own birth certificate, then your parents' marriage. From that you can ascertain your parents' ages at marriage and also details of their fathers.

I can see no Austin/Brolyn marriage. You will need to purchase Josephine's birth certificate to get her parents' full details
