although the census says unmarried it could be a mistake or he lied about his marital status in order to keep his job.

So maybe after Thomas died she sent the children to various relatives and continued working in London until her death in 1876

Elizabeth's death?

Thanks for your replies I do subscribe to Ancestry but couldn't find the things you have! Maybe I'm not practised enough yet!
I'm going to see if I can find when Catherine snr died to give me any clues why she went to live with Uncle.

Thanks again

Dane, I'm not sure how Ancestry will show siblings in this case. Still, a 14-day trial to have a look around is no bad thing!

Father John Mother Martha
In 1861 he was living in Paddington as a servant he had a daughter Kate in 1863 b Paddington but I cannot find a marriage can anyone help? Also were there any siblings to Kate? by mar 1870 he had died (registered Devizes) and Kate was living living with her uncle in Devizes by 1871
