It looks like ancestry trees strike again!


There are TWO William Limers, born in Yorkshire within about 2-3 years of each other


One was born in Wath on Dearne, and one was born in Stanley



This is what I see looking at the listing of ancestry trees for William Limer


POOLE FAMILY TREE Dec 10
Public Member Tree
1 source
William Limer
Birth: 1875 - Wath, Yorkshire
Spouse: Sarah Ann Matthews

F: Joseph Limer

M: Ann Frost


Hall Family Tree
Public Member Tree
1 attached record, 3 sources
William Limer
Birth: 1875 - Stanley, Yorkshire

F: Thomas Lymer/ Limer

M: Sarah Ann Illingworth





and I found the two William Limers on the censuses




It all comes down to .......... are you certain that YOUR William Limer, who married Sarah Ann Matthews, was born in Wath on Dearne


If so, then the parents are Joseph and Ann






BUT to be absolutely certain, you should buy the marriage certificate for William and Sarah ......... that will give you the names of the two fathers and their occupations.



THEN you find William's birth registration on www.freebmd.org.uk, using his father's name as reference. Buy that certificate



and there will be no more doubts.
