Am looking for descendants of WILLIAM BYLES/BILES who married ELLEN LAMPEN GRIFFITHS in Portsmouth. William was a Gunner in the ROYAL MARINE ARTILLERY, Portsmouth 1800's. 1901 census shows ELLEN to be a widow and living with her daughter-in-law Emily ( 23 FRATTAN GROVE, FRATTAN) who was married to Williams son FRED BYLES/BILES. who was a STOKER in the Navy and had a son FRED WILLIAM/WILLIAM FRED. William was discharged from Navy because of Arthritis. Have discovered from his Naval Records that he had 3 Good Conduct Badges and the CHINA MEDAL with CLASP for CANTON. My mother remembered attending one of their funerals as a young girl which had to be after 1910. William originated from Powerstock in Dorset. Cannot find either of their Death dates or where they were buried. Can any kind Rootschatter help me here. SHOWERS
