Research Notes

• Parents originally attached to this profile were John Groom Elizabeth Pool but evidence to the contrary was found and they were removed. John Ordway Groom was found on the GRO site with Mother's maiden name Sidey. ^[1] Another birth for an unnamed female child was registered in 1841.^[12] As the time frame is correct for the birth of his sister Ann, it was taken to be her. Other conflicting information appeared in the 1841 census with his mother's name as Mary. The parent's ages in that census did not line up with the ages and the formerly linked parents.
