Notes for Douglas Argles Collard
On the 1st March 2005, Bill Lonnen sent me a first e-mail, establishing in the politest way that I had some rubbish in my records! Here it is:
"I've just started putting together my family tree. I am the son of
Beryl Collard daughter of Douglas Collard (b 1859) at Stodmarsh. My
family tree information differs from yours (which doesn't mean mine is
correct!) My grandfather Douglas married a Gertrude Marion (B1870).
His brother Ernest (b 1856) married Caroline Argles (b 1860) in 1879
and had a son Douglas (b 1880) He Married Olga Powys-Lybbe. It looks as
if your tree has shown Douglas (B1859) as the husband of Olga rather
than uncle-in law. My grandfather was the farmer and his nephew (also
Douglas) was the Timber merchant. I hope that fits in. If I have
interpreted your tree incorrectly (not difficult as I'm easily confused
- old timer's disease) perhaps you could correct me."
This then led to some proper information about the Collards.
