Lizdb, ciderdrinker has found some of the info I already have plus a little more. I was wondering about the children of the children. What Is the best free source of BDM info in England, or even pay per view - do you know? Sorry I forgot to add the date.

I appreciate everything everyone has added here. Many thanks. Please do not feel you have to research on my behalf. I am really just appealing to anyone who might already have researched these names for their own purposes. The dates in question are as identified by ciderdrinker. I don't have any other documentation. I realise that I probably won't get much further going down that particular line anyhow as it moves into the more modern period, not beyond 1911 anyhow. Thanks again.
