Yes, I agree about the relationsips - there are a number of possibilities.  I would go with trying to track them back on the census first ie. 1861 when they look likely to be in Farndon and then see what turns up from that.  Also, try and find Sophia & family in 1861 - Flinton or Thoroton perhaps?

If you've ordered the marriage certificate for Henry & Kate, you might not need to go down this road with the ALLWOODs just yet .............. it might just turn up when you research Henry and his parents back a bit.  It's up to you.

Best wishes

Right well silly me, forgot that I had sent for the bc for Henry.

Anyway  it says
born 16 Feb 1857 Thoroton
son of Sophia(x)Mellors

Dont know what the x means

Anyway it looks like he was illigitimate

and maybe the son of the old guy after all

Hello all

I thought that I would just share with you who have helped.

I have today received the mc for Henry Mellors and Kate Dunn

His father is named as John Hemstock (Castrator)

Which leads to another puzzle.

It looks like Henry was born to Sophia and John BEFORE John was married to the illusive wife. Huh

Hi Sheila

That's brilliant news as it fits with everything else doesn't it?  So you need to find the family in 1861 now then ......... and in the other census back from there.

Good luck

Hi again

1861 census

John Hemstock 65
Sophia Mellows 37
Henry 4

Henry is described as a visitor.

On the record of marriage for a John Hemstock and Elizabeth Paxton June 1860 

I dont think this could have been the same John as it seems he would have been 66 when he married.  Doesn't really sound right??
