Correspondence

The following comment from Heather Stevens was posted on the WikiTree profile of Frances Meares. Thank you for pointing this out. The passenger list for the family was already referenced in William and Frances's profiles. You had unlinked Frances from her husband William (b.1788) so I will link her up again. You have incorrectly linked the children of William (and Frances to his mother Zophiel Blomfield-249, and most of their births and deaths are incorrect. Do you intend to correct them? I have researched this family extensively and I can make corrections for you if you like. It would be great to collaborate together on this tree.

Kind regards, Heather

Hi Heather I have posted in Research Notes but according to Immigration Records NSW the correct spouse for Frances should be your profile Read-5846. Here is what I posted in RNotes: Hi Heather, I have removed William Read Bloomfield as spouse as according to NSW Immigration records William Bloomfield was born 1688 so not the same William Bloomfield.

New Research

• Taking the name of Bloomfield - William Read - did this occurr around the time of his marriage to Zophiel (Sophia) ? Is there any other evidence to support this ?
