OMG Margaret thank you! They liked that family name Gildon didn't they?

At least it's a bit more interesting than searching for William, Thomas, George etc etc etc LOL

Nite!

i never delete ! night !

Lindsey yes it looks as if Martha died in 1837 as we suspected before - hence no mention on the 1841 census you kindly found.

It's getting late now so off to bed but thank you all very much for your help. Please don't delete any of your posts for a little while as I shall update my records tomorrow from the information you have found.

Kind regards

David
