Hi Tracy Could you possibley look and see if you could find a death for an Ellen Fowler b about 1855, she is alive in 1901, living eithr in Hertfordshire or London believe it might have been early 1920's when she died but could have been before, not sure how simple it is to check all dates from 1901 to 1920's if too difficult I understand but if just a question of typing in a name I would be grateful. Also could you check a marriage of an Douglas Alexander Fowler either in Watford or London from about 1907 onwards have already sent for one marriage certificate that is wrong. Need to know who he married. Many thanks Maureen

Maureen, I can't find them in 1861 either. I hate London lol I'm thinking that John and Cornelius are the same person. It might be that he and Mary lived together before getting married. I did find a few ''possible'' births for the early children under Butler.

Hello Tracy I have a mystery I would love some help with. My grgr aunt Mary Butler married Cornelius Saward in 1873 at St James the Great Bethnal Green and they were spinster and batchelor. On 1881 census they have children ranging from 1 to 20, on 1871 census the older of these children are listed with parents John and Mary Saward. I can't find them on 1861 at all and I can't find births for any of the older children on FreeBMD. Mary Butler was born in Clerkenwell in 1842 and Cornelius was age 10 on 1851 census I haven't found his birth yet. My question is did the older children belong to someone else and get adopted by Cornelius and Mary or did Mary and Cornelius live in sin for 13 years? I hope you can point me in the right direction thankyou Maureen

Hi Tracy, Thanks for trying to find my William Whitehead's marriage to Madelaine. I don't think the Sydney you found could be him because he always put William Thomas Whitehead , no Sydney. I think I'll have to keep on trawling 1837 online. Many thanks though Chris
