Thank you very much , it is greatly appreciated. I have checked out the BMD in Rootsweb and many years ago went through the microfilm at our local genealogy society. It does seem that most of the Gaylard and Gayleards are in the same family, however I did manage to find one that wasn't. An Elizabeth gets married in the 1860's and according to the Marriage certificate her father is a Henry. However the great mystery to me has always been this family unit because I can't seem to find George Gayleard and Ann Pearce being married in the Hampshire area. And then for some strange reason George the son marries and then seems to almost dissappear. I do have pictures and records of Mary Ann Gayleard who is my grandfather's aunt, but absolutely no mention of the older brother. I'm actually believing that George the father is son to William Gayleard, Saddler from Portsea, however this one piece still remains a mystery to me.... the marriage. I thought I might get a break in the census records, but so far little light has come. But I am very much enjoying the search and am trying to widen the circle I am looking through.
Sorry for the length of this.
