Riley-1803 and Riley-1251 appear to represent the same person because: Similar birth and death details. Seems to be the same daughter. Mother of daughter needs to be sorted out. Thanks for reviewing.

I believe that Samuel's daughter, Sarah Jane Riley, is my great grandmother but I cannot find enough facts to be positive. My grandma Martha Bloomfield was the daughter of Henry Bloomfield and Sarah Riley. They were married in June 1883. Sarah had 4 children, the last on being my grandmother born in 1892. There are no records of Sarah after my grandma was born. She is not listed In the 1900 Census but there is a servant listed, Melinda Chriswell. In 1901 my great grandfather Henry Bloomfield married Melinda Chriswell. I am assuming Sarah died sometime after my grandmother died but there are no death certificates, etc. If anyone has information about Samuel's daughter I would love to here from you. It is the biggest missing link in my family tree.

Wikitree What more do you want? This should not be unsourced. Very confusing.

Not been able to find these tags that you keep talking about. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MCC3-P6P

I'm researching my daughters father's family. Henry and Margarette McIntosh was his great grandparents. He was adopted.

So, were Samuel and Jane cousins?

Riley-1453 and Riley-1251 appear to represent the same person because: Same father and mother Jenny is a nickname for Jane. Most likely it was called Janie and the census taker missed communicated.
