Inconsistent GRO entry
I have been revisiting the Tuffnell family (lots of spelling variants) and have been investigating children born to Thomas Tuffnell and his wife Martha (Ashness).
The couple lived in the Macclesfield area but the family had originally come from Hertfordshire. This unexpected birth appears: GRO Reference: 1856 J Quarter in BERKHAMSTEAD Volume 03A Page 304 TUFFNELL, THOMAS ASHNESS ASHNESS I already know about this one: TUFFNELL, THOMAS ASHNESS ASHNESS GRO Reference: 1859 J Quarter in MACCLESFIELD Volume 08A Page 122 I decided to check on FMP and the image shows just Thomas Tuffnell (no second name of Ashness). It has the same reference number. How possible is it that the GRO has made a mistake? I can't find a death for the Thomas Ashness Tuffnell born in 1856. A Joseph and Mary Ann Tuffnell had a family in Berhamstead in the 1850s. Last edited by ElizabethHerts; 28-03-19 at 10:25. |

That's odd....you get this from the GRO?
GRO Reference: 1856 J Quarter in BERKHAMSTEAD Volume 03A Page 304 TUFFNELL, THOMAS ASHNESS ASHNESS but when I search the GRO index (first name Thomas, surname Tuffnell, year 1856, male - nothing else) I get: TUFFNELL, THOMAS WARD GRO Reference: 1856 J Quarter in BERKHAMSTEAD Volume 03A Page 304 Have to go out now.....

How odd, Merry.
My information was copied and pasted! I didn't type it myself. Now I am getting what you have!! The GRO website must have had a glitch. I searched with mother's maiden name of Ashness. Well, at least that is solved. Thanks, Merry. |
