Hi and welcome  :)

Do you have any dates and places?
It is best to post what you know to prevent duplication of information and also time re searching.  :)

Detford/south london is a key place i believe,
i believe elizas father was a horse dealer/livery worker, but died of the flue.
John french faught in the first world war, i believe he was a bare knuckle boxer to, I think he had a brother sonny french, who died in the first world war,
john and eliza they had three sons, john, george and michael french as well as some daughters. at this point thats all the info I have, but will try to gather more if possible.
