This is really getting complex because in 1851 Cornelius is not Slight/Sleight but Shaw

So at the end of the day it's hardly surprising that the later family didn't know if they were Sleight/Slight or Shaw. But it means that the George Andrews born in Tetford in 1879 the son of Henry and Jane is the father of the 3 children and your ancestor.

And in turn it means that this is George Junior with his grand parents in 1911

thnks everyone looks like i have some work to do on my tree. I would love to know why they changed their name and then changed it back again. i will definately send for georges marriage certificate. I do have the death cert for margaret it is the only one i have purchased so far

Astra ...good work,I had a feeling about this one something was just not right.

Lorraine was that Death Reg ther correct one for margaret.

Please let us know when you get the Marriage Cert back ...most interested to see if our hunch was correct.

suex :-)

yes the death certificate was right and i am sending for the marriage one today

Just an update, i did indeed have the wrong parents for george andrews as his marriage certificate confirmed his father was Henry andrews, now back to the drawing board!

i am stuck with henry now i have got that he married jane davy and have found the children but cannot find his parents, if anyone could start me off i would be grateful
