Please can someone help? I'm trying to get to the truth! My 3 x great grandmother was a Mary Ann Halford born in about 1830. Her father was George Halford they lived in Blakeney and were native to there as far as I know. George was a Sawyer.my problem is that there was more than one George Halford at the time. But which is mine? One is connected to the Newland area and one in Blakeney. However Mary Ann Halford married James Thomas who was born in the Newland area. See my confusion! I'm thinking they may be connected by don't know how. Father/son? Uncle/nephew? Or no connection at all and which one is Mary Ann's Father? There is also an on going debate as to the 1841 census when the family appear to be listed as Jenkins ( not Halford) but this could be the fault of the person who took the census and wrote it down wrong. Just wondered if any of you kind people had an opinion
