Come on Ann, you know that GR Hot Match program doesn't match on place.

Seadart,

are you certain that you haven't go a John Hobbs b 1871 as well? I've fallen for this until I realized that I had several with the same name.

I have a John Hobbs born 1750. Genes reunited happily tells me they have found 300 record matches for John Hobbs - dates 1871.
Is there no check for likely-hood?? 121 years old!!
I have no idea when he died but it is a high probablility that he was dead by 1850.
