   Thanks for the caution.   
      
   I don't trust this line at all, so other suggestions like this are welcome.   
      
   Everything is fine about JHR's progeny, just what he was saying about his   
   ancestry rings warning bells. I could get a certificate for his second   
   marriage in 1850, but I suspect that this will only repeat the info that I   
   already have (from him) about his    
   father.   
      
   As nothing has come up in standard searches, I think that a non-British Ostend   
   is still the more likely prospect.
