Hi Linda, the Metcalfes are sometimes spelt with out an e at the end Metcalfe/Metcalf.

I don't know whether this would help?

Do you think it is likely that Williams parents did die prematurely?

The burial discs give both spellings

Maybe his mother did and dad left him with the grandparents, he could have even remarried of course

Hi Linda, thanks for your help, as no one as managed to find them on any census returns together, I think I am just going to have to accept that this is one mystery I may never solve. The unfortunate thing is not being able to establish who Bessy's parents were.

Hi Andy, no I havn't seen this one, and I think it is Thomas with his mother Mary, and just when I had given up hope of getting some answers!! This also, gives me some indication when Richard and Mary died.

Many, many thanks, Sandra
