Joseph Cleaver (Cleaver-497) married Susanna Frederic(k)a Roux (Roux-333)

Joseph was the son of Samuel Cleaver, (of Cleaver & Son a Soap Making Business, which eventually became Yardley's of London).

I was led along the wrong track with this person and did quite a lot of research only to find out that the source (which I will not name) was utterly and totally incorrect with regard to my family, (it ijust goes to show if your don't check your sources you can waste a lot of precious time).

As they are not part of my family, but I have them within my tree, I would like someone to adopt them.

Any takers?

Would that profile be connected to profiles for Ward, June, Wally and Theodore (aka the Beaver) Cleaver?

Ahhh ... mever mind, just messin' with you. indecision

I've done that same thing a couple of times, chased a "bum steer" lead and added profiles that got generated while scanning through Censuses, Birth, Marriage and Death records... only to late learn that it was a wrong branch.

There's really no harm in "orphaning" such profiles.  Almost no one could keep up with a Watchlist of more than a couple thousand and it even gets hard on the system to handle more than 5,000 for any one contributor.

Also, if you orphan the file then when someone is searching or uploading for that same person they will be able to immediately adopt that existing profile.

So it's merely a judgement call to cut them loose whether another Profile Manager is presently available or not.  It won't really hurt anything.

Hi All,

A bit of an assist for records of the change from Cleaver & Son to Yardleys may be obtained from Yardleys using the contact us section of the web site. The URL is http://www.yardleylondon.co.uk/get-in-touch

I know a lot of the big companies do keep their records and you never know they might have some from the change from Cleaver to yardleys, it's always worth an email.

All the best
