Looking for any Woodley families from the Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey and Middlesex borders.

John Bankam Woodley, a brewer, and his brother, Matthew Fuller Woodley, a corn factor, married two sisters, Eleanora Maria and Lucy Bedford Allen, at St Mary's, Walthamstow, Essex on 9th August 1855 and 1858. Soon after their father and mother, John and Sarah Woodley (nee Fuller), died and with their inheritance they moved around frequently.

John Bankam raised his family mainly around the Kingston brewing area:
Unknown son - found in newspaper reports, but no idea!
Nellie Sarah - born Camberwell ~1860
James Edward - born Camberwell 1862 died ~Jun 1896 Southwark
Edith Rosalie - born Send ~1862 and christened 17/12/1863 Send & Ripley
Thomas Herbert - born Send ~1864 and christened 17/12/1864 Send & Ripley

In 1871 the family is living at Bedfont, Staines, Middlesex and by 1874 back in Surrey at Surbiton Hill. In 1881 they are at "Brewery" Villa, Kingston-upon-Thames. They move to the Lewisham/Catford/Forest Hill area of Kent between 1881 and 1885, where John Bankam dies.

Some of Matthew Fuller's children were christened in Feltham.

Please could someone lookup in the 1841 census George Woodcock , a miner, born ~1809 in Broseley, Shrops. His wife is Elizabeth nee Brook(e)s born ~1811 Brockmoor, Brierley Hill, Staffs or Birmingham. Their children were Phoebe Elizabeth born ~1835, John born~1837, Joseph born~1838 and possibly Samuel born~1841 all in Harts Hill, Brierley Hill, Dudley, Staffordshire.
