Pushy Parent - Is Henry's Mother the Key?

Pease find quote for further work on the new name we have found which we believe strongly indicates the real identity of the person known as Henry William Stageman who died in 1852.

We believe we have found him to a degree well in excess of the balance of probabilities, a standard used to determine inheritance claims in intestacy.

Proof will very likely be attainable over time with DNA as that service becomes more accessible and affordable.

Please let us know if you have any other name in mind for Henry following your thorough research as we do not want to duplicate work effort. The name we have in mind is not a derivative of Stageman, nor can it be confused with that name in transcriptions.

The completed indenture is also of extreme importance. Evidence implies that there was a problem during apprenticeship. It would be appreciated if this document could be found and any updated address checked. We have evidence that the person we believe to be Henry's mother was involved in a similar arrangement with somebody else. If the indenture or its transcription cannot be found, we still have a good deal of other evidence to support our case.

Extra work amounts to 12.5 hours at just over £400 in line with your email but we will provide a 10% discount as previously granted to reduce this.

I hope this meets with your approval and that we can dismantle that brick wall which has lasted almost two centuries.

You can pay this in one or two instalments. Everything should be with you by early next week if the deposit/amount is paid by the end of this week.

I hope this meets with your satisfaction but please let me know if you have any queries.

Best wishes
