Edward Dean marries Mary Bounds 9th August 1773 Bolsover Derby- can someone look at the pedigree list-there is a string of children added on the pedigree file on IGI- is it just me or is it nonsense.?

I have just had a look but not sure where you are coming from. The children look ok to me.

Do you mean the span of years? If so, could there have been two wives?

1st born 1758 ann year after marriage. 2nd born 1762 4 years later 3rd born 1773 11 years later ????????/ 4th born 1774 a year after that 5th born 1777 3 years later 6th born 1782 5years after that 7th born 1786 8th born 1790 9th born 1794 10th born 1796- mother would be over 60 by now !! apparently all one family

Hi Alter: I show a Mary Bown, born 1746. Don't know if this will work: http://www*familysearch*org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp Perhaps his first wife died and she is the second? PS Check Edward Dean in IGI, British Isles, No. 41, born about 1728

My, he was rather old when he passed away, eh?

he married mary bounds but my guess is that some numptee submitter has read that the mother of the 3rd child onwards is also a mary and presumed- i have spotted a marriage of an edward dean and a mary gee about 9 months before the 3rd birth- it is the only one in the same county . it is in staveley and my guess is that staveley ,the marriage location is her home village. why do we have to go round tidying up these entries and mistranscriptions-ive had murder with ancestry over a family on a census that they havent altered!!

I couldn't find the dates you gave, but there is this: Husband's Name Edward DEAN (AFN:1V0M-L0J) Pedigree Born: 1728 Place: Christened: 11 Aug 1728 Place: Bolsover, Derby, England Died: 18 Feb 1821 Place: Bolsover, Derby, England Married: 29 Nov 1757 Place: Father: William DEAN (AFN:1V0M-L5K) Family Mother: Ann (AFN:1V0M-L6R) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wife's Name Mary BOUNDS (AFN:1V0M-M6X) Pedigree Born: Abt. 1736 Place: <Bolsover, Derby, England> Married: 29 Nov 1757 Place: I think that there's also a Mary Bawn somewhere. Off to hunt again.

It might be interesting to contact the submitters, to see what they've found out. I noticed one child had a date of death, which would lead me to believe that he might be the submitter's ancestor.

Now this entry truly is impressive: Edward DEAN (AFN: B90H-GF) Pedigree Sex: M Family -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Event(s): Birth: Abt 1754 <Bolsover, Derbys, Eng> Christening: 11 Aug 1728 Bolsover, Drbysh, , England Burial: 18 Feb 1821 Bolsover, Drbysh, , England -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parents: Father: William DEAN (AFN: 14QJ-5D4) Family Mother: Ann (AFN: 14QJ-5FB) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marriage(s): Spouse: Mary BAWN (AFN: B90H-HL) Family Marriage: 5 Feb 1777 Matlock, Drbysh, Eng

I'm sitting here laughing.....however.....I have one ancestor who WAS born in 1822 and DID die in 1928. In one of our records, they typed her birth year as 1922 -- guess they just didn't believe what they saw. Perhaps he was christened in 1754 - either because the family had more money, or the future bride's family insisted on it?

thtas the second such one ive had like that-had a bloke born in avillage in notts,died 5 years later but turns up in the states aged 88 !! Thanks brenda for the records.

pedigree files are submitted by individuals and the information is only as good as the submitter. Sometimes I've found details that check out, other times there's complete gibberish, like the man who was married before he was born and another chap who seems to have married his mother. Always check the original source where possible - ie the parish registers. nell

Thought as much- mary Gee came from Staveley and was born in 1752. So edward dean marries Mary Bounds in 1757. They have 2 children together. 1758 1762 edward dean marries Mary Gee in Staveley as soon as she is pregnant in december 1772. the third child is born august 1773 in Bolsover-Edwards area.
