Dear All,
Thank you so much for all your help.
That they were in London did not occur to me. No wonder I couldn't find them
Once again thanks to all you good people who give your time and help to silver surfers like me.
Regards, Margaret xx

Found them thanks to Gail, but no children with them. Have I got confused, are you saying that John was 32 in 1861? and not 1851.
His birth place is Brington by the way.
