BANNISTER, Mary and Martha

That could be but this whole thing seems like a deception plan to throw potential followers off track. Given the times and ability or lack thereof for people to follow her. Sorry to be cynical but that is the sense that I have.

That would make sense if she was the one to abandon the family but it was Solomon who left and it was Elizabeth who went to court for maintenance (which we assume she never got).

Also if she was worried abut someone following her why did she give the correct place of birth for herself and at least 2 of her sons did follow her to the NE.

This time I'd favour an honest mistake, apart from them saying they were in 1911 that was a lie, though not an uncommon one.
