Possible one of these is the deaths of William snr..More than likely 2nd one as Wyndoham is a district of Forhoe...

Another sister .. thanks! :)

Any hint on what happened to William (father) as he seems gone by 1841.

Thanks .. i've managed to determine that Ruth is probably nee Lincoln and was married to William who is deceased by 1851 and probably 1841. In 1841 they seemed to share a house with John Lincoln, maybe a brother and his family. Hit another wall there, but am one step further on :)

You could spend forever on here couldn't you :)

I have a William Alderton, he was born March 30 1831 apparently in Norwich according to his obituary. I'm trying to find any more information about him, such as parents and brothers. We was a military man, joining in 1851 and travelling to various locations ending up in Australia.

I have a lot of information once he gets to Australia, and nothing before then.

Anyone have any ideas of where I could look?
