Don’t you just love it when it all comes together so neatly? This does not happen too often when
researching a family tree but every once in a while another piece of
information or a document that proves a connection just falls into your lap.
I have written before about which James Palin married Martha
Boffey in 1788 in Wrenbury/Bunbury. (the
marriage was recorded in both places) There
are many family trees on line that still show this James Palin was the son of Thomas
Palin and Elizabeth Smythe born in Aldford in 1758.
Well another piece of information just came to my attention
today that helps prove that James Palin that married Martha Boffey was not the
son of Thomas Palin and Elizabeth Smythe.
And the unexpected document really has nothing to do with James, but with a Phoebe Palin!
