!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NOTE Beware - there is another birth certificate BXBZ 690089 for an Ada Thomas born 26 Dec 1874 (same year as Ada Ann) from parents George Thomas and Jemima Thomas (nee Lovell) - Ada's daughter-in-law stated that her mother-in-law was called "Ada Ann", so I am confident that this current record is the wife of (Edward) James Rodway), The other Ada may or may not belong to the same Rodway line !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
