Thanks, Nigel. I already have those - they're the couple in question. It's Stephen's death I'm after. He seems to have been alive in 1858 when his youngest daughter married but I can't find him in either the 1841 or 1851 census returns.

Hi. I'm descended from Anthony and his first wife, Mary Griffen, through Mary Bucher, nee Groves.
William Groves(1679) was the sone of Stephen Grove (1645-1696 and Grace Symons(1653-1687). Stephen's parents were Thomas Groves (1620) and Elenor, and that Thomas was born to Edmund Grove (c1600) and Mary.
That's all I know. All, I think, from the Isle of Wight Record Office.

Oops! Typing error - 1792 is Harriet's birth year. They married in 1810.
Thanks for pointing it out, Liz.

Thanks for that, Billgam, but when I checked out that date at the Archives it turned out to be a different Stephen Read.
The search continues!

Trying to track down Stephen Read, born 1784 in Pitton, married Harriet Whitlock in 1792 but after the sixth child (1825 in Clarendon) I can find no (definite) trace of him. Emigration to Canada or Aus is a possibility. Any help gratefully received.

Extremely helpful, Jorose - thanks. Not just the info re Fritz and brothers but the expanding of horizons with the resources. I'd got the Aussie son but none of the other stuff.
Nothing on the marriage cert - I suspect he never knew that he was illegitimate, as the family thought his grandparents were his parents. But I haven't looked for a will yet, so shall do so.
Thanks again.

Hi. No, that's the one that isn't him! Presumably a relative. However, the marriage details you give are of the correct Fritz, so many thanks for that.

London and Middlesex / Guye family

Trying to find info about Swiss watchmaker Fritz Guye who lived in Tottenham in 1871 but was in Orwell Cottage in Twickenham by 1881.
I wonder if he could be the father of my illegitimate great grandfather, Fritz Guye Browning (b 1879, Newington) whose mother, Mary Jane Browning, was a watch spring polisher in Newington in 1881.
Any info would be gratefully received - all I've found are the census returns from 1871, 1881 and 1901. Can't find Fritz Guye in 1891 as an older F Guye (with a different wife and family) is living in Orwell Cottage in that year.

Oops.... following so many different lines that I got mixed up. The marriage was there, it's her baptism that wasn't. So although in the register she's given as 'of Hartington' for the marriage, she isn't there otherwise. Which is why I can't find her parentage. Sorry to be a twerp.
