Hi again, the witnesses at the marriage of Amos Pusey & Francis Johnson ie James & Sophia Bailey, looks to be the other daughter Sophia b c 1833, but first she has this marriage:-

Henry Snell age Full Batchelor occ Labourer Father William Snell occ Labourer
Sophia Brown age Full Spinster Father William Brown (Decd) occ Tailor
Residing Hillingdon
Witnesses Robert Wall & ? Hunt
1st February 1852 St John the Baptist, Hillingdon after Banns

Burial Henry Snell 17th October 1852 St Margaret, Hillingdon aged 21

Then I do not at present know what occurs, but this is her in 1871/81:-

1871 Census

James Bailey 32 occ Joiner b Alderminster, Worcestershire
Sophia 35 b Uxbridge
Arthur James 4 b Uxbridge
Minnie 3 b Uxbridge

Residing at Montague Road, Albion Terrace, Hillingdon
Census Ref RG10/1307/80/27

Baptism Frances Ellen Brown 7th June 1863 Yiewsley, Hillingdon Father William Whitehouse Brown occ Basket Maker Mother Ellen

Sophia 47 b Uxbridge
Arthur J 14 b Uxbridge
Minnie 13 b Uxbridge

So it is the marriage of Sophia to James Bailey at present I am trying to locate?

Traditionally, couples married in the bride's parish, and Chesham or Chesham Bois, just over the border in Buckinghamshire is only a hop, skip and jump away from Uxbridge.

Thanks for info re birth of William Brown. around 1798. Through those church records can you find name of his parents and do a search on their background?

My interest is to follow this side as far back as possible

Cheers
