Oh hey, lookie there… (gotta say: Willie’s granddaughter Donna had really done her homework, she just hit one of those walls where you need a professional genealogist [aka an obsessive weirdo] to run the ball the rest of the way.)
Really enjoying seeing my work on Relative Secrets! Just finished episode 2 and thought it was excellent. This was such an interesting case to work on. 99 year old WWII vet who always wondered what happened to his grandma who raised him. #genealogy #ancestry

Yes! I’ve ruffled feathers before when extolling virtues of checking coverage before assuming an individual was “just missed” or “not there,” but it really is so, so easy to forget. It’s as if we get so hung up on “oh come ON, where ARE you?!” that the determination overrides our knowing better. 🤓
Note to self...
Rather than spending half an hour trying to work out why you can't find a family in the 1861 census, why not check the National Archives' catalogue in the first place. Over 1000 missing from the 1861 census for the Esher district.
You've only been doing this for 40 years, Dave... 🤨
