RootsWeb: Bristol_and_Somerset-L Robert Thomas LAPHAM was he a bigamist or a same namer ?

well I don't know why the message board version is missing did the moderator censor it or was it a technical glitche?


The scenario I have in mind is that Robert Thomas Lapham had one family in Bristol from which I am descended, ran away and served with the British Army and was discharged as a Chelsea pensioner then married the Scottish lady starting his second family.

There is a discrepancy of estimated age, but I for one look young for my 67 years and have twice married ladies much younger than myself being young in mind too.

No evidence only a hypothesis so I have two Robert Thomas LAPHAM in my records until more evidence turns up - if ever.
