You cannot 'assume' that people were related.........you have to find proof, or you could cause yourself real problems. Reg

Hi There, My great x4 grandfather was Robert Bailey b abt 1784, Dawley Shropshire. His father was Robert Bailey b abt 1756, Dawley Shropshire, son of Robert Bailey and Elizabeth Lane. His mother was Mary Lane b abt 1763, Dawley Shropshire, Daughter of Michael Lane and Sarah Bailey. I can trace both familes back to a couple called Michael and Viglah lane. Am I right to assume that Robert Bailey b 1756 and Mary Lane b 1763 was Interelated? Thanks regards Rich
