I've got a decendant list that duplicates a family sub-group.

Question

The list:

http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Crane-Descendants-1554

It seems

1. Alfred James Tuckwell   (November 24, 1863 - July 16, 1946) m. Susan Elizabeth Seller (September 28, 1872 - October 28, 1928) on October 29, 1890.

 are both Descendants of 

1. John Crane   (1787 - April 18, 1865) m. Rebecca England (August 21, 1807 - August 9, 1901).

Is there a solution to this dilemma?

Answer 1

I am not sure I see an issue here. Susan is nine years younger than Alfred, and they are from the same area. They are second cousins, but such marriages were common in the 1800s, especially in rural areas. She was 18 and he was 27.

Thanks Mark ...

I tried to do a 'Dynamic Tree' from one of the descendants to show the connection , but as you expand the tree , it won't show the same couple twice ... (which I can understand from a programming point of view , it just doesn't equate ... lol !! )
