Hi Snoop, thanks for the look-up, that is the family I've been looking at, but not sure if it's the right one yet  :-\
If you look back at my original thread, the mystery man I'm after is Henry b. abt 1866, according to his m. and d. certs. I'm beginning to think that he either used a different name or 'enhanced' his age when he met and married in 1905. If you have the time, a b. and d. for Thomas and Mary, the parents, would help to fill the picture a little.
I'm currently trying to trace the siblings to see if anything fits.  ???
By the way, I see that you have Preece, Herefordshire,  in your surname list, are they anywhere near Lugwardine?

Hi,

I have taken a look for Thomas Langford/Longford and none seem to fit so perhaps he was born out side Herefordshire.

Thomas and Mary (WILLIAMS) also had a Sarah in 1847 and a Charles in 1850 but I cannot find a Henry.

My Preece family are from North Herefordshire around Almeley and Mansel Lacy so probably not the same as yours,

Hi, thanks again, I didn't know Mary's maiden name was Williams, that's great  ;D  Yes you're right about Thomas, he was born in Knighton, Radnorshire, abt 1827-31, and Mary in, Bodenham, Hfds, abt 1825-29, Remembering their ages doesn't seem to be too important for this family! I think Charles may not have survived childhood since he's not there in1861, and Henry appears in 1855, sadly that's 10 years older than my mystery man, unless...
I think I may have to find this Henry's stats if only to try to eliminate him.
(The Preece names I have so far are Alice b.1883, father James, and John and Florence)
Thank's again for your time and trouble, H
