Major Francis Gordon Cardew O.B.E b 1 June 1862
My Great Great Grandfather Alexander Macpherson was married toEmma Cardew (c1821-1898) who was the granddaughter of the Rev Cornelius Cardew DD (1748-1831)
I am trying to reconcile my 2 sources of Cardew information which are
1) The book 'Cornelius Cardew, a memoir' by Sir Alex Cardew
2) An 40 page A5 booklet (no title - cover is missing) published sometime after the first worlld war containing details (mostly military) of 33 Cardews and about 100 of their descendants / relatives.
Information in these sources ties up very well in the majority of cases , except for Francis Cardew.
The entry in the booklet reads
Major Francis Gordon Cardew OBE Born 01 Jun 1862 . Son of Rev J W Cardew, son of Rev J.H Cardew, son of Rev C Cardew DD.
I am assuming that the Rev J.H Cardew is Rev John Haydon Cardew, (1773-1853) who was the son of Rev Cornelius Cardew (1748-1831).
However if that is the case that makes a gap of 89 years between the birth of Rev J.H Cardew (1773) and his grandson Francis Gordon Cardew (1862) which seems a lot !
Can anyone help me out with this ?
Thanks
Niall
