Hi Maxine
Thanks, have been looking at the other trees and I think we have all made the same mistake of thinking that John Soady married to Susanna Welch was the right man but no, he is another Soady and not ours. A descendant of his made contact with me claiming him as hers so I msut inform her that she is on the wrong tree.
As you have the marriage cert stating his father is Joseph the superannuated coastguard then you have proved the fact that we have the wrong guy in our trees. I ahave amended mine but would appreciate if you could give me the date of Julia and John's marriage and any more facts on Julia~dob, parents etc.
One tree has John dying of Phthisis in 1867 but they have the wrong John like I did.
So we are not related but linked through a prior marriage.
Regards
Brian
