It is a VERY small world, but.................................. I am feeling bothered! (nothing new there then!!) I vaguely remember this Reed saga from before.......Was it that in the 1881 census the child of William and Mary (whose name I can't remember) was living away from his/her mother? So we had to find Mary? Was this the person we found, below? 1881: Mary Reed abt 1845 Horsley Down, Surrey, England Visitor Southwark St George Martyr London She is shown as a widowed dressmaker and in the house of a lot of people called Johnson. My worry is, there is this other couple, below........OK, so the husband has the wrong first name, but he is a b****y Brushmaker! 1881: Brushmaker!!>>>James Reed abt 1849 London, London, Middlesex, England Visitor Southwark St John Horsleydown London Mary Reed abt 1844 London, London, Middlesex, England Visitor Southwark St John Horsleydown London Cripes!!! I hope you are able to eliminate them??! I only noticed James and Mary because I am doing a tree for a friend and he is related to the other people in this house....Philip Renouf and his family from Jersey. It's a complete fluke that I saw this the same day as you were talking about William Reed brushmaker. Reed is such a commonplace name, by tomorrow I wouldn't have noticed them! Shoot me now! lol Merry

LOL, you lot!! When did William Henry die?? Would it be between 1876 (marriage) and the 1881 census?? And we are now saying he was 19 in 1851??? So in 1881 he would have been about 49ish.......... Hmmmmmmmm - I can't see any death registrations that look completely obvious :o(( But then there are no obvious ones, whatever age he was! Merry

Man of mystery no more!! I had assumed that William would be around the same age as his wife who was born in 1845, so didn't think it would be any good looking for him on the 1851 as he wouldn't have been old enough to have a profession, and as Williams father was down as deceased on the marriage cert I couldn't even look for the father on the 1851. Merry obviously far more intelligent than me.....Found him at home on the 1851 aged 19 occupation Brushmaker...Yippeeee. He was born in 1832. Lesson learnt never assume anything!!
