Masterton Strays

As the family trees grow, the number of unallocated Mastertons diminishes. Finding homes for these strays in one of the established trees is always a very satisfying breakthrough. The following lists contain some of the Masterton strays who appear in indices of the records, but are not yet allocated (and paying for all of the certificates would be rather expensive!). Any information on where these individuals might belong would be warmly received. Sometimes, the reason why births have not been allocated to trees is that the child died in infancy and never appeared on a Census. Some of those most likely associations from the Index of Deaths deduced from age at year of death are noted in the final column.

This page has also become something of a memorial to undeveloped potential. These infant deaths have no further contribution to subsequent generations but they were loved and grieved. It is difficult for us to empathise with times where infant mortality rates were much higher than today's, but the 205 infant deaths listed below gives pause for thought. Parents in the past were quite familiar with the grief of burying a child.
