I am desperately trying to seek my blood gg grandfather who was said to have married beneath himself and was subsequently cut from the family and killed in the war. he supposedly had 2 sisters. If anyone has this story in their family would they please reply

I have sent away for 2 of the childrens birth certificates to establish mothers maiden name. It looks like Wetsel or Netsel, so far nobody has been able to decifer it. We have a birth year of circa 1861 Brentwood, Essex. I can not find a marriage for Mary and Charles and have come to a dead end. Can anyone please help
