Hello
Can someone find in 1861 a Harriet Eggleton, wife of Matthew. In all the other censuses bar 1881 she says born 1831/2 Chieveley. Matthew doesn't seem to know his age but was christened Shaw in 1833 which age is on 1851 and 1871.
I need to be more sure that  she was the Harriet Goddard, which marriage is on FreeBMD in 1853 before I order the cert. I cannot identify him in 1861 on FindMyPast but the ancestry one might have them.  Thanks.

Hello,

I have just found on FindMyPast a marriage in St Laurence, Market Place, Reading of a  Frederick Salmon, a blacksmith, and Martha Selwood,  in 1844. Both of full age.
Frederick's father was Thomas, a shoemaker and Martha's father was Alexander, an aglab. Now, the only Alexander that I know of in that area in that time frame with a daughter Martha was my 3rd great grandfather in Englefield and  then Bradfield.

 I cannot find anything forward for Frederick Salmon and Martha on the censuses for an age or  birthplace verification. The only possible clue I have is from the BBI which has a Martha Salmon of Thames Street buried in Reading in 1862 age 44. This is a bit old for my Martha Selwood who was bap in 1813 Englefield.
However, it might well be her as ages are often distorted at death and burial and over time. 

In 1841 there is a Martha Selwood age 20, a laundress in the Royal Berks Hospital  born Berkshire, but that is not of much help. The 1861 shows a Martha Salmon age 40 married (no husband present) with a 15yr old daughter who matches the address of the Martha in the burial. No sign of any of them in 1851 or a birth reg for Louisa.

Can anyone find my Frederick and Martha Salmon, please, or give me some advice as to where to look next if they cannot be found on the census. Until I am more sure this is the right person, I am loath to speculate on buying the Reading RD 1844 unnamed female birth cert in the hope that it is Louisa, and that her father is Frederick Salmon and mother is Martha nee Selwood.

Could someone do a lookup, please, in the Berkshire Marriage Index for a Richard and Sarah Wilson about 1825. In the Bradfield, Englefield, Bucklebury, Stanford Dingley area. I am hoping that Sarah is Sarah Sellwood. If so, I can follow them from where  I have found them in the 1841 and 1851 censuses.

Hello
Could someone give an opinion as to which newspaper to approach? I want to put in an advert or send a letter in an effort to trace the whereabouts of my first cousin, Sylvia Tomlinson nee Saunders b 1927 or her forward family.
Her parents were George and Millie (Emily Denyer) Saunders and the last known address I have is on George's death in 1961 which was in Farnborough. However, the death cert says  he died in Farnham which I think may be his daughter's address. Sylvia was an only child.
