WOW! Now thats what I call quick work.  That all looks like it fits in.  I am such a novice and have little idea as to where I should be looking - I did find the birth registration for Francis (my Grandfather) but have searched for about 3 hours this evening and come up with zilch on anything else.
Thank you so much!!!!!  Do I need to join up to any sights to make my search any easier?

Hi,

FreeBMD is a good site to begin with  for Birth/marriage .Death reg.
Registration began Sept qtr 1837 and was not compulsary at first - so sometimes you find there is no registration . It is a free site to use and is not complete but as it is being transcribed by volunteers it is being added to regularly.

From Sept qtr 1911 the mother's maiden name is shown on birth regs.-so to find your grandfather's siblings  put the following information into FreeBMD-:
Births
Surname Reynolds
Mother's maiden name Wells
District Banbury
Date Start Dec qtr 1911 (which was the date of marriage reg)
do not put a "finish" date.

1881 census is free to view at www.familysearch.org

have alook and see if you can find the families I have found in 1881

Then I will give you further tips

From Cropredy parish transcripts
Marriage

         Wit. x Reginald Thomas Victor Willits, Ethel Valtone Wells.   Banns                     From Baptism
29.12.1912 Reynolds William Frank s William & Cicely Ann Sophia, builders lab, Cropredy, Oxon
