Yes
Her father is down as John Williams house painter.
However her step father was Samuel Williams  a coach smith 1837- June 1877
And it is John Sellwood who is a house painter.

I've dug a bit deeper through John Sellwood marriages from 1844-1862 for the first wife.
There is a John Sellwood ag lab born 1831 Tilegurst Berks
 Marries firstly Pheobe Fuller June 1852 Bradfield Oxfordshire ,Berks .Pheobe dies Sep 1855 and
John remarries Mary Ann Oliver at Reading Mar 1859

Neither marriage seems to be available on line to find his father's details are Benjamin Sellwood.

1871 census Tilehurst Berks
John Sellwood  42 ag lab Theale
Mary 45 worker paper mill Kelston?
Elizabeth 17 Tilehurst
William 13 Theale
George 7 Theale.

Not spotting family together after that bur really picking at straws.

Sorry
i haven't got any of that.
The info is for someone who dropped in to a Family History session before Christmas and is expecting something back at the next one on Friday.
I haven't got a way to get in touch till then.

Good Morning and Happy new Year
I'm looking for what happened to a Richard Reed.
Richard was born June quarter 1860 son of Joseph Reed and Mary Burton  gun lock forger of Darlaston.
He married a Sarah Ann Millington 22.12.1878 at Willenhall and their son Joseph was norn on 12th Jan 1879 .After that Richard is never seen again.
His wife and son are with her parents John and Catherine Millington  in 1881 census and she remarries 21.12.1890 to Joseph Taylor at Darlaston st George.
No sign of Richard Reed.

Hope you can help

Good Morning
I'm looking for a Henry Johnston born c 1844 Washington USA .He married at Rushall 29.3.1869 giving his address as The Butts ,father Henry a tailor dec .Wife Alice Hale born 1847 Walsall .

The couple are together in Ashton under Lyme 1871 Gosforth st
and 1881 Blue Lane East Walsall.
He then disappears  ,while his wife Alice,still married and children are in Sheepwash Lane West Brom. The following census the lodger Harry Dawes turns into her ' husband' but no marriage presumably because Henry is still alive.

Where did he go ?
Better still who are his parents?

There is a witness to the marriage Ann Johnston  but not finding definite connection.
I know it's a toughie but any clues would be gratefully received.
I'm away for the weekend so plenty of time to chew over the problem

Thank you
