Hi Redlion 77
Saw your posting about the Heathers - this is also my family on my mothers side so would be very pleased to share any info you have with you - I'm at work at the moment so scant details to hand but will send some through.
Henry William Heather born 1860 (son of James Heather and Mary Matthews) married Margaret Winifred Parker born 14/6/1867 at Gosport, Hants. She was the daughter of Emmanuel Parker born 1/10/1824 in Compton Chamberlayne, Wiltshire, who I believe died in 1884 in Gosport, Hants. He was a Royal Marine.
Henry William 1860 and Margaret definitely had a son called Henry William born 31/10/1888 at 3 The Hollies, Stoke Rd, Gosport, Hants (my grandfather) but according to the 1901 census there are also other children – Margaret W born 1890, William Henry (Bill) born 1894 at Fittleworth, Ellen Elizabeth (Nellie) born 1895 at Fittleworth, James born 1897 at Petworth, Florence Daisy born 1898 at Petworth, and Emily Elizabeth born 1900 at Petworth.
Henry William HEATHER b 1888 married Constance May BAKER born 1896, Woodford, Essex. She was the daughter of Edward Baker born 1870 in Chichester and Mary Jane Herrington born 1873 at Petworth.
sounds as if this is also defintely your line - maybe we could correspond directly
Hope to hear from you soon - how exciting!
Best regards
