georgina there is a bit of family scandal because we know the collinsons boarded with barretts then when ann denton died thomas edward denton only went and married one of the barretts after they had boarded with then. i thought my tree was hard work but this is really confusing lol sarah

georgina your a super star thanks sarah

Ann's mother remarried in 1880 Marriages Mar 1880 Collinson Sarah Ellen Halifax 9a 546 Cuss John Halifax 9a 546 Parkinson William Halifax 9a 546 Her father died in 1876. Deaths Mar 1876 Collinson Joshua 36 Halifax 9a 402 Georgina.

Sarah can I ask why it was a scandal when Thomas married a Barrett? Georgina.

georgina all i know is that none of the family would welcome janet barrett into the family because the collinsons including ann who married thomas. when ann collinson died thomas married janet they seem to think they was something going on before she died am i making any sense sarah

Oh I see he was having his bread buttered on both sides. Typical male. I am off to bed now good night. Georgina.

thank you for all your help georgina good night sarah

would Ann's marriage cert not have her DOB on it? Ken xx
