There are too many discrepancies between the information that you have, and the information on these trees.

I'm still not convinced that we have found the right records .................... there are too many discrepancies!


are they connected to your ancestors???


I'm wondering if we can go another way round to solve the riddle.

( 3 GR Members share a Clara Hearson 1884, wonder who has 1904 Marriage Cert. for details)

I think it might help to know that there is another thread on the Hearson family posted by Littlelegs so there is obviously a connection?

the Smith/Hearson children post 1911 are on Freebmd Rotherham .

My inner contradictions

SylviaInCanada

SylviaInCanada Report 25 May 2014 22:17

there's actually at least half-a-dozen threads on the Hearson family.


But as I say, I am not at all convinced that Clara Hearson married John BRIDGFORD Smith



Yes, she married a John Smith ..................... but it is not John Bridgford Smith.
