No idea where to go from here!!!

One of William Welton's brothers, Allan, didn't make it out of the war either. He was in the Royal Navy.

On another note, Rebecca was buried in Grave P8822 at Overleigh Cemetery, along with her daughter Maria.  The attached is all the people in that grave;  you will probably recognize most of the names.

Re bbart's list of people buried. The 2 Keegans, Edward had a twin John are/were baptised 13/1/1835, parents John and Catherine Keegan, prior to her marriage to Thomas Taylor in 1850.They appear on the 1841 census with surname Kiggin in the household of Mary Bedward.

Mary Bedward 40 France
Florentina  20 France (  Catherine)
Josephine 20 France
Edward Kiggin 6
John Kiggin 6
Mary Kiggin 2

They appear again with Mary Bedward in 1851 census with surname Regan.

I am confused as why Alexina Bigham is in the list.  The clip I posted was from the database of the Overleigh Cemetery, but the Findagrave says she is in Plot 8 , and from the photo's, I don't see how anyone else could fit in there?

EDIT  Ignore Alexina;  I have no idea of why she showed in the original clip, but looking her up as an individual, she is  in plot 8, and not with the others.

What has happened to the online Overleigh Cemetery database? It hasn't been working for me.
If the OP could get back with any further details from the marriage certificate, and to tell us whether they have Rebecca's death certificate, it would be good.

The original links to it don't seem to work; I dug through Google and finally found one that works:

For anyone trying to use the above database, and finding themselves scrolling to the end of time trying to get to a name, it is not overly obvious to some that you can actually type a name, then click on it in the list to make it active.
I highly recommend watching the youtube video on how to use it.  Once you get the hang of it, searching is much easier.

I'm still not getting it but thanks bbart.
Will keep an eye on it.
Frustrating that we can't pin Henry down before his marriage, nor even find his death!

Do you mean the link doesn't work for you, or you can't figure out how to use it (it IS a steep learning curve.... it took me hours!)

Could I throw this guy into the mix, even to only dismiss. I cannot follow him after 1851 census in Birmingham. Believe mother Mary Eliza died 1852  Gloucester, and father Thomas went on to marry possibly twice afterwards but no sign of George/Henry with his father in future census. 1st marriage in 1852 to a Sarah Wall very shortly after Mary Eliza died.
