I agree with you Mellie...

Gillian, i know this seems harsh, but you cannot go on guesswork, you need to be sure of who you have found before you do anything. We can all help you, but you must be sure of the facts. The 1875 lady has a completely different family profile to the one you are looking for and as Mellie states the other family fits your profile better.
