I never found records for him but have a charcoal drawing of the child.<br /><br /> I was searching the records of the local parish and I found a Baptism for Denis and one for his sister Anne. The two baptisms were only six weeks apart and the same parents were listed. This was in 1875 <br /><br />I have yet to solve this mystery, but I think that one of the two children were illegitimate and my great grandparents took one of them.<br /><br /> Dennis was not in the 1880 census. I have yet to find where he is buried. The cemetery records are missing and the church records were destroyed in a fire and only start c. 1940.<br /><br />I think it will remain a mystery.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714440790407126206noreply@blogger.com
