Women get married, sometimes more than once. It helps if you think laterally and go for brothers cos some times it leads to the rest of the siblings.

MargaretM Report 9 Sep 2007 19:18

These are children of Thomas & Sarah Rance christened in Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire taken from the BVRI discs:

Albert, born 1874, christened 25 Dec.1883
Adelaide, 27 Feb.1876
Ada, 25 Dec.1883 (this one's listed in index as 1877)
Keziah, 19 May 1879
Annie, 25 Dec.1883
Leonard, 28 Sep.1884
Lewis, 31 Jul.1887
Ruth, 20 Apr.1890
Looks like they christened 3 of them on the same day, 25 Dec.1883. Albert born 1874, Ada 1877 and Annie. One wonders why Adelaide was christened 1876?
