he marries in 28/10/1865 where they all lived gt hormead hertford
but free bmd dont have his wifes name. on family search wife is emma possibly ?johnson?. found this by looking up 1865  hertford marraiges to find e johnson spouse william clark or dew
found kids births but she has no surname
in list of kids births one daughter is listed as dew or clark.
found william living with his parents and one son in 1881 gt horm.
where is emma and the other kdis
kids are
thomas 1870
elizabeth 1866
alfred the child with dad in 1880
walter 1872
and william john 1869

can anyone help trace them. is it possible they have all died including mum

Hi Kas,

first things first ...the marriage

I've searched the full GRO index and there is indeed an Emma Johnson on the same reference

Royston Dec 1865 3a 377

So that looks good for that one. There is a William Clark and William Dewe on the same reference, so possibly for some reason he was known by both names and your search for family will have to take both into account.

Marriage - yes, Emma is in FreeBMD as P277 .... strange it hasnt been double checked, as it stands out on that Page as the only Royston one. Even the image in FreeBMD is clearly 377.

Have you found Eli* b1866 and WJ b1869 on the 1871 census , or verified a death ?

[Richard Knott]

Royston deaths

Mar 1868   Lizzie Dew  age 1
Mar 1871   William John Dew   age 1
Jun 1871   Thomas Dew  age 0
Mar 1873   Walter Dew   age 0   + others

So they could all be dead.
The rest of the family is now in one place.

The 'Dew Clarks' are all living together in Hormead in 1891 (Alfred is 17).
Even grandfather Thomas has that surname.

IGI

Baptism  9 Jun 1816
Gt Hormead, Herts
Thomas Dew or Clark son of John Dew and Mary Clark


In 1841 Thomas was living as 'Clark':

HO107/443/10
Han St, Gt Hormead
Thos Clark, 24, ag lab, Y
Mary C, 25, Y
John C, 4, Y
Wm, 2, Y
Mary C, 55, Y


..but by 1851 the family was 'Dewe'.

He may have changed to Dew once his mother had died.
