Searching on Ancestry in the 1851 census under Robert Strong born abt 1805, Robert is with his wife Sarah and children.
Under Roberts family is I think his brother John with his children James & Mary Ann. I think it says John is a widow. Could some one check me please. He also has visitors Elizabeth and her children, George and John. I believe John had been married to Sarah but maybe she died?
In 1861 John is married to Elizabeth and George & John are now Strong's.
I cant find any marriage for John & Elizabeth or a death for Sarah
Any help greatly appreciated
