So i was right Samuel was connected to these Haswell's we have to work out how now..
I love it when something comes together..Lissant St was the key and little Harriet i was praying Samuel would be her father.. i am made up
we now have to go through all the family members to work out who was his mother..theres no Roberts in this family as far as i can see...
The Sarah i found had different parents so forget her...
lets see what we can dig up..
