Well i am back, i have decided to scrap all my ancestry notes and start a fresh, i haven't really destroyed them, just put them away out of site.
I decided to change the spelling of the surname of my Ancestor's Mother on advice from other family history researchers, i did that and it paints a completely different picture, but still need to confirm it.
If my new information is correct then my ancestor was born the same year as his parents marriage, we shall see. This spelling i had before, but couldn't find anything so i changed to a different spelling. Everywhere you look the spelling is different, no wonder people get so confused and it takes so many years to find any information.
So off to the National Library i go again tomorrow to see if i can confirm my new information. Then again, it might turn out to be a false lead again. I found someone in Ireland who is related to other people with the same surname and sent him some information, he was very appreciative, as it was his family. In one of the photos he said was his Mother. I was very glad that i could help someone else. He said he would look to see if he could find anything on my ancestor, for which i am truly grateful.
I have no idea how long this search will go on for, i seem to be able to find all the information on other families of the same surname, just not mine.
The person in Ireland doesn't think my family is connected to his. Sometimes i feel as if all the research i have done has been for nothing.
Onwards with the search, i have a renewed vigour, let's see how long it lasts.
