Thank you for the info ,I have not been able to collect much data ,however the 1881 census ,shows that at, 30 Low Farm road .
Providence Gowing , Head , 76, retired marketer .
Robert Mallett , boarder, 13, gardener
Benjamin Hanton, boarder , 2.
The children were my grandfather and his half brother ,Their mother Susan had died the previous year,and George their Father was boarding with his sister ,with him his two other children Elizabeth and Edward .
I recently went to Reedham and found the headstones of both William and Providence, William died in 1875 and his wife in 1887 I have been unable to find out dates for Susan and William Mallett birth s etc
