Many thanks for your information.
Looks as though your Gt Grandfather John and my Husband's Gt Grandmother Caroline were Brother and Sister.
Caroline went on to marry twice her second Husband was my Husbands Gt Grandfather his name Robert Lancastle.
Have you found Johns first wifes death yet if not would you like me to help?
John didn't have much luck in the marriage stakes did he.
Again many thanks  I didn't have anything much on John senior.
This website is great don't you think

Hi

Any help would be great --- thanks

To find John's first wife's name we will need to get one of the childrens birth certs to find mothers name.

That should tell us where they were living and we may be able to find the church for baptisms.
