You will need to get one of the children's birth certificates Laura to confirm the name of the father, also if you haven't got it the marriage cert for Elizabeth would be useful to show whether she married as a widow,

You would need to buy the marriage cert to Elizabeth , this would give his age and his fathers names ,if known .

Or you could buy one of the children birth certs to see who is named as the father.

I cant see either of the marriages on Ancestry London parish records.

Its more than likely tho that Francis the son was named after his dad

Hello,
I am hoping someone can assist, i have stumbled across a mystery in my tree. I have an ancestor by the name Elizabeth Williams nee SINFIELD born 1974 i Hackney parents Thomas and Betsy Sinfield. I have what seems to be a second marriage to a frederick Willaims in dec 1900 but Elizabeth seems to already have two children at this point by the surname of GREY Francis 1897 and Mary 1898. I would love to be able to locatetheir father and what happened to him if possible. I have her in the Census but in the 1891 she is down as Sinfield then by next one has already ammried Frderick. Any help on this mystery would be great.
Laura.
