Re: De Lacey family
Morecambe Ex Pat, you are so right about errors in the family trees on various sites. Some people just copy things without researching or bothering about the obvious mistakes. One example in my lot is that according to records this particular ancestor and his two siblings were born a few years AFTER his supposed mother had died. The explanation is that his father had been married twice and both times to a Mary. The first Mary had passed away but someone had assumed that all his children had the same Mary as their mother, without checking on dates. It was blatantly obvious that this couldn't be the case but I found the same mistake had been made on several trees so someone must have copied from the first error and then others had done likewise, copying from each other.
