1) Elizabeth Smith married Richard Busby at Charlbury, Oxfordshire in 1747. Between 1746 yes 1746 and 1756 they had 6 children at Islip. I have not yet found details of his death. 2) Elizabeth Busby (widow) married William Truby of Little Wolford at Islip in 1760. They had 3 children, one of whom died as a baby, and another was my 5th ggfather Joseph. William was buried in 1765. 3) Elizabeth Truby (widow) married George Edwards at Islip in 1769. I know that number 2 was my 6th ggmother, but how sure can I be that she is also the other 2? And, by the way, was she just a rotten cook?

Jim, A friend and I were talking about just this sort of problem earlier today.We decided that you sometimes have to settle for ' probably' but I know that like us, you like to have back-up evidence. I wonder if there are Wills, - perhaps even SMITH ones that leave something to Elizabeth, now wife of....... or name her children so that you can link one Elizabeth to another.
