Thats the one Reggie
Can you take a look, please. John Willar is down as daughter-in-law. I cannot read occupation of William. And I wonder if James Weller is really 37 as the other boys are his sons?

I have actually been looking for a William Welling born around 1836 who married an Eliza Field.
I have found the following children for them Martha b1853, Daniel b1858 and Stephen born in Greenwich Workhouse in 1860.
I was hoping that this family might lead me to mine.
