William Graves wife was Sarah Taylor,wed 1852,i wondered if the John and Robert Graves bapt.to William and Ann at Navenby,could be chilren of William and wife Ann Blaney
The John Graves b1825 at Navenby probably buried Apr 1826 at Navenby - I don't think that he was a child of William and Ann Blaney. I have found Robert living in Bedfordshire with his family in 1861 (indexed birthpace Newenly, Lincolnshire) and I871.
There was a marriage at Heckington in 1823 of a William Graves and Ann Footit
There is a baptism in 1804 of an Ann Footit and in April 1874 an Ann Graves of the right age was buried at Navenby.
The only sign of Ann (Footitt) Graves I can find is an Ann Graves of Navenby of the right age working as housekeeper for Peter Marriot at Doddington in 1851. She is recorded as married. Also in the household is John W Graves age 10 b at Temple Bruer - boarder.
I love thes mysteries!
