hello Heywood,

No as yet no I have not found a marriage.  Are you saying that Hoby is part of Asfordby

WEsty

I have no idea but that family are living in Asfordby in 1861

As you say it is possibly not your man but just trying to sort this out.

I appreciate your assistance Heywood.

JJ noted a William SHELTON aged 22 at Paddington.  Where is Paddington please?

1871 3295/52/3

Fits with child Mary A from 1861. I assume you have the family in 1871.

I have found a baptism for William Shelton 1838 Holby with parents William and Mary so likely not to be your man after all.

I had seen the Paddington one and wondered if there was a second marriage until I found 1871 

[Westy11]

Thanks Heywood.

Which county is Paddington please?

Westy

[heywood]

Paddington, Middlesex

1881 16/65/25

Eliza is transcribed as Edna.

Hello Heywood,

Sincere apologies to reply so late.  Your post was missed by me.

Much appreciated.
