I'm not surprised that sorting this all out has "turned your head inside out" Well done on unravelling as much as you have. You just never know if one small snippet of info comes your way in the future which opens it all up to you again. I hope you get to solve some of those mysteries. So many children! Many of my ancestors also had big families. It makes me wonder what it would be like. It's unimagineable. to us, even with all our mod cons.

Thanks Jennifer. Yes. I found it challenging raising 2! However, I am pleased to say they both turned out nicely 😊 Sadly, George and Elizabeth lost quite a few of them young.

My goodness, you did an amazing job unraveling the information for all the Alfreds and Wallises! I appreciate the work you did keeping all these dates straight.

To say it did my head in is an understatement! Using the same names multiple times did not help but at least I made some sense of it in the end ... I think?! ... Until some more evidence comes along to change things at any rate!
