I always back up what ive found with either marriage or birth certs or parish records before adding to my tree. I have been corresponding with someone whom looks as tho they share a great x 5 grandparent. The weird thing is The wifes are not the same. How can this be? mines backed up with parish records as its the 1700's everything else tallies with what I have including parents of the grandparent just not the wife. Do ya think its gonna be like one of my Fox family and have been married 2? Luv Angie xxxx

Ask the other person how they got this other person, it is either an error or a second marriage.

When I had this happen to me, I worked with the other person and we discovered that we actually had cousins of the same name and 2 years apart! But 1 was more dominant in the records (not my one of course! LOL), is there anyway this could happen with you and this other person?

Hi Suzanne xxx The wierd thing is that they both were born at the same place at the same time and same parents. So dont think they were cousins ive just rechecked my info and its all ok have rechecked the couple of trees in Q's and the confusing thing is where my great nanna x 4 was born 1795 they have a totally different person there! I cant understand it. Im totally confused. I have gone overer the parish records 3 times this morning and still I have the same info I had before scream its wrecking my head now lol.

Angela It looks like someone was unsure of the numbers to transcribe. Do you have Ancestry? I will check if you want to post or PM me the details of the record to check. Gwyn
