Hi,
I wonder if you can help me? I am trying to track back on my family and have got as far back as Francis Woodley and his wife, Selina Ann. They married in 1875 and lived in East Hagbourne, with Francis' Uncle, John Woodley and his wife, Sarah.
Francis had a brother, William, who was 3 years older and also lived with John and Sarah. They do not appear to have had children of their won. Quite what the arrangement here was, who knows??
Selina had 9 children, 8 of whom appear to have lived beyond childhood. The youngest, Frederick, was my Grandfather. However, we are not quite sure who the father was, it does not appear to have been Francis, he seems to have disappeared from the scene and there is some question mark over a younger chap called Joseph Butler who was living with the family.
It would be interesting to know whether your lines marry up and if indeed, you have got further back that I have so far.
Regards,
Peter Woodley
