My father’s mother’s mother was Lady Honor Ward. She had never soiled her hands. She ran off with the squire’s son. Her father, Lord Wooton, was given his title for services to food production in WWI. |

Maybe Tania no one else found out any secrets Or maybe they are to embarrassed to say :-D When I first started doing my tree friend came to stay and got me to do some of her family. There's something fishy about my Dad's birth she said so looked up and found yes mother wasn't married OK! then looked up her marriage 3 yrs after birth "Oh thank goodness they got married" (child was named after the person she married) said my friend laughing.....Haha says I have another look and in the margin .....Marriage April.... June Bigamy Oh dear now friend doesn't really know if her maiden name was ever correct she did get her g/mothers maiden name and the married name oppps :-) |

Oh Dear Tania Imagine what he would say if he knew you had found out, about 100 yrs later. My g/father and his sister had a falling out with the rest of their Irish Catholic family sister married outwith the Catholic Church and g/father actually went and signed the documents oh! my what a to-do so much so the pair of them changed their name from McSharry to McSherry which I might add caused me a great deal of trouble of finding info. the Irish sites are bad enough as it is. And my Mum would have had a fit she kept saying we spell our name E. :-D I wonder if any of our secrets will be found out in a 100 yrs time (hiding evidence now!!) :-S |
