Needle in a haystack time.
If anyone is bored, lol!
I have information that: Edward Lewis married in 1885, Sept, East Preston (Sussex) Mary Ann E Rayner This is correct. Please can anyone see this couple in 1891. I know absolutely nothing about them, not even their ages, but I would like to completely eliminate them from my enquiries. I am sure my informant has confused this couple with our "real" relatives, lol. Please don't spend ages on it, I expect it will be a right pain..... Thankyou in advance OC

*submits correction to FreeBMD* Edward Lewis married either Mary Ann Leggatt or Frances Ann Miles (the other bride married John Clear).

Oooh, right Kate - I did spot the Isle of Wight anomaly but didn't consider the significance.
How very strasnge - my contact states "Ah, you have jogged my memory, Harry Lewis married Mary Ann E Rayner and they had two or maybe three children." I found that Harry Lewis married Mary Holroyd, which suited me very nicely (June 1884, Huddersfield - which is where I found them in 1891, 1901 and the widowed Mary in 1911). "Harry definitely didn't marry a Mary Holroyd, or if he did, she died or he divorced her" (This is the contact who assured me that harry died young, unmarried, kicked to death by a horse....) Thankyou also, Maggie, but in view of Kate's info, that's probably not who I am looking for! OC

Oh, this appears significant!
Mary Hannah RAYNER to George ~Edward HOLROYD Huddersfield Sep 1880. I would imagine George Holroyd is the brother of Mary Holroyd, or a close relative. Hmmm. I am very grateful to this contact, who has given me a photo of my 2 x GGM (well, let's hope it IS her and not someone else, lol) but how far am I obliged to correct what appears to be a bit of a fragile tree, especially when the loose branches are not my direct relatives..... EDIT - on the other hand, they are probably better at it than I am because: Mary Hannah Rayner DID NOT marry George Holroyd, LOL! I am going to bed before I can do any more damage to anyone's tree.

Did you tell the contact that they were wrong about Harry?

Yes, I told the contact I THOUGHT they might be wrong about Harry, as I have him married and living in the right sort of place, not kicked to death by a horse as a young man. They have now remembered that yes, Harry married Mary (but Mary Ann E Rayner, not Mary Holroyd) and that they had two children, Arthur and Ann, and that Arthur married Martha......all of which I have just given them. I wanted to know why they thought Mary was nee Rayner. I am still waiting for a reply. OC
