Thank you! Very grateful for all the info. Looks like the offspring remained in London rather than returning to Gloucestershire.

Hi Purdie - I am descended from Priscilla Williams, daughter of James Williams and Mary Keen (she was from Rollright in Oxfordshire). Priscilla at least did return to not too far from Oddington, Gloucestershire, as she was married in Little Faringdon, Berkshire to Thomas Lynn in 1863.  They and their children emigrated from there to Dunedin, New Zealand in 1873 (arriving March 1874) with their youngest daughter dying on the long voyage. I have a photo which shows Mary Keen in the late 1860s which Priscilla brought with her to New Zealand, showing Mary, Priscilla and Priscilla's two eldest daughters, including Jane Lynn my great grandmother. Am very keen to get in touch with you. Regards, Peter Grant (New Zealand)
