That's right Lynski :-)
I will never understand though why he used the name Tomlinson on everything apart from all census.

p.s. 1871 is Guest on Ancestry.

I have a similar thing in my tree - my grandmother had a stepfather and when I was looking for her children (12 of them) I thought it was odd that I couldn't find all of them until I found out that, for each birth she swapped and changed her maiden name between her actual surname and her stepfather's surname??

She is no longer here for me to ask her but I often wonder why??

So glad you have it sorted Christine - Well done !!

Thanks for the update :-D

LOL Dea - thank you :-)
Though I'm not sure about completely sorted :-D
