I cannot believe I was so stupid I got the marriage cert of a rellie was sure it was them, have spent ages trying to work out who the wife is where she was born etc then today a lovely lady finds a different marriage and its definitely them, so assume nothing.

its very easy to get sucked in this man had the same name as mine and it isnt a common name Abraham Rose he even married a Joel but turns out it is the wrong Joel unless he married twice once in 1857 then again in 1860 , oh no got me wondering again now.
