I've been researching my Family Tree for quite a few years but, during recent months, it has been on the back burner. I really need to look at Parish Records and living in Spain sort of makes it a little difficult!
Having a few hours to spare today I decided to start it all up again and came across this! Immanuel Church was the one which most of my Yates' ancestors were 'hatched, matched and dispatched' so to speak and as I delved further, I found that it's records were now being transcribed. Such a brilliant find.......or so I thought.
On checking out the burials I noticed an entry for Betty Brindle, one of my favourites. I have her down as being born in 1836, marrying Ralph Yates in 1856 and carting on until 1903 after bearing several children. I got the wrong one! The one I've been researching died aged seventeen!
So much time wasted and back to the drawing board!
