Thank you for the clarification of Richard b. 1743 and Margaret being George's (b.1785) parents and of Francis Read (b. approx 1700) and Margaret being that Richard's parents. The question now is, can we get back further? Another descendant has asked me 'when did the Reeds first come to the Dean?' I bet this is not an easy question!

Going back to Gertrude, she is not George's daughter (he died in 1879) and I have doubts that Jane was her mother, as by this time she was about 53 years old. I have now ordered a copy of Gertrude's birth certificate. When I get it I will let you know who are the stated parents (if both are mentioned...).

Thanks again for your help.

Matt
