Hi,
Trying to locate a husband possibly for a Mary Billington, Not sure if she was married. She was born c1841 and had 3 children, William 1859, Leonard 1861 (popssibly died in infancy) and Elizabeth 1864.
William was married to my great grandmother Fanny Brook. He was a cobbler originally from Bradford
Thanks

Yes it does thanks.
This particular piece of info about Mary came from a distant cousin who has been dabbling on behalf of her grandad. My family tree is looking a bit healthier than it did a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks

Hi,
May have tracked Mary's siblings (not sure yet) but her parents seem to have disappeared off the face of the earth!
Shall keep looking.

Thanks
