Thank you for locating the marriage of James Henry Ellis to Elizabeth Smith, I never thought of looking for the marriage in Ireland, as I hadn't had much information about James' location between 1911 and 1921, but everything on the marriage certificate matches, even to his father Joseph being a plumber, Thanks David

Thanks Paul for your detailed answer to my question on Jane Armstrong. I had already found that the Armstrongs of that time had a penchant for using the same names (just to confuse us) and my head was beginning to spin. You seemed to found your way through the maze much better than I did. I am off now to digest your reply and reflect it in the appropriate profiles. I had just had to say first how much I appreciate your effort.
As you can see I have just been sent a copy of a photograph of Emily Robinson (nee Cave), which I have uploaded to WikiTree. Along with it I was sent copies of a two letters, from which I propose to add detail to several of the Cave and Robinson family members.
That's a nice photo of Emily. It's great that you've got some more details from the letters, most of the information I have been able to add is just names, dates and places so hopefully they will help to add a personal touch to some of the profiles.
Thanks Paul re pointing out the double up on the profile of my ancestor James Hall Day. I have now put in a merge request for his wife as there was no wife called Elizabeth. His wife was Eliza bull and that is her name on the birth record and on the 1841 and 1851 census records as well.
Thanks Paul for working on my Woodroffe marriages. I will verify the dates and quality of the index when I visit the Family History Centre in a few weeks.
Thank you so much for the information regarding Sir Peter Rycaut (Rycaut-1). Your help is much appreciated, I can assure you.
