Hi Heather.
Can you say what you mean by 'any trace' - are you tracing backwards or forwards, for example.
Any idea of location?

Just looking at the image of that marriage (Francis Joseph to Annie). I can't make out the residence (same for both) of the bride and groom but doesn't it seem as though they've put that as Francis John's surname as well??

EDIT: I think the address must be Lefevre Road

Wow Fantastic - Thank you so much, really got a buzz reading these names.
I teach creative writing in Eastbourne and stress the importance of writing memoirs, I love tracing new members of my family, so thank you again. Heather
