I would be grateful for help in tracing the birth of Mary Reynolds and the marriage of her parents.

According to every census, Mary Reynolds was born in Kidderminster c1846. However, I can't find a baptism or a registration.

Her father, George Reynolds, is probably the person married to Ann in 1841.
There are baptisms for Elizabeth in 1833, Maria in 1836 and William Henry in 1839.
Again, no registration for William Henry or further trace of him and Maria. There is a record for a William, son of Benjamin Reynolds and Ann Turberfield.

These are the census details. I have all of the descendants of Mary, and those of her half-sisters, Jane and Eliza:-

1841 - Worcester Cross, Kidderminster
George Reynolds 25 b 1816 Out of County
Ann Reynolds 25 b 1816 Worcestershire

Ann probably died Q4 1847 age 32

I would be very grateful for help in identifying the uniforms in the attached photograph.

One of the people is my wife's ancestor, who would be mid-teens at the time, and the date of the picture probably 1912-14. He lived in Leicester all of his life and became a police constable after the war. It might be police or army cadets.

Many thanks,
David

 My grandfather was on the ship 'SS Missouri' when it ran aground on the coast of Anglesey on 1st March 1886, whilst heading for Liverpool. All on board survived and it is now a diving site.

 I have a copy of his discharge certificate and the passenger list when the ship arrived in Boston, USA, on 15th February 1886, but it doesn't list the crew.

 I also have a copy of the passenger list for the ship's arrival in Boston on 13th May 1885 but, again, no crew. On 18th May, on the return journey, the ship saved all of the crew of the ship 'Themis', which had struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic. I don't know if my grandfather was on the ship during this trip and so I would be very grateful to know if a list of the crew might exit.
