Re: Scarffe - Gelling
In Response To: Re: Scarffe - Gelling ()

Terrific. Thank you. A couple of questions. I see children Ann and Jane's death dates are the same (15 Aug 1853), but Ann was mentioned in her mother Jane SCARFF's will of 1872. Is that a typo?
Also, all the dates led with a "b" are a few days before the baptism dates. Are these birth dates? I'm curious where those would have come from. Perhaps a Bible?

Meanwhile in yesterday's mail I received a descent tree from John GELLING b 1802 Lonan, who is Jane SCARFF als GELLING's brother. It's quite big. I can try to summarize it here if it's useful.
