Hi Tad

I think that your Mahala was probably at West Street, Warminster in 1841 - a femal servant to the Black family, age 15.

Hi  Dazey    Thank you for that  :)
 Would it be hard to see if her father and mother are near by John Watts born abt 1800  he was a Farmer when she married in 1851
Cheers Tad  :)
