Hi Spidermonkey,

Thank you for your reply, I was under the impression  only  the girls were born to Henry & Eliza but a family member I am helping said he knows of two sons and after their father died they apparently drank  his business into the ground....(a very profitable carriage maker) in Gorseley.

I have never found any sons so maybe you are right in saying maybe there was a second marriage, I really don't know,  if they are found that will be a bonus.

Regards

Cienna

There is a possible death for Henry - 16th Sept 1947.  Probate was granted to William Charles Edward Langford, grocer.  You could order his will, and see whether sons were mentioned.

In the Kelly's Directory of 1914, there is an entry for Watkins Brothers, wheelwrights.  Perhaps the two sons belonged to Henry's brother?

Thank you, I will look into this piece of info and see what I can come up with for this family, must be something to show if there were sons or not, your time and and effort is very much appreciated.

Henry had a number of brothers but I have no families for them as yet, still researching.

Regards
