Hi again, odd that on certain birth registrations Louisa uses mmn Godden ( Correct) and Nealan/Nealand ( Incorrect) and a largeish span between the Nealan/Nealand usage?!
When/where did her first husband die?

I wish I knew more, my great granddad was her son George but I do not know a lot about this side of the family at all

[keyboard86]

OK, but seems odd, also Henry Nealan from his Army records marries Mary Porter 28th June 1890 Parish Church of Fleetwood, he also names Louisa Nealan as his next of kin, what became of him?

PS Louisa was a Rowland when he signed up, his one campaign was the Nile Expeditions 1884/5

Its curious indeed, I appreciate you finding out these facts, as I haven't researched the half brother Henry Nealan (d) before. This is probably because I still havent found my great granddad's other siblings Frances (Fanny) and Albert

[keyboard86]

OK no problem just cannot at present locate Henry Nealan and new wife Mary in eg 1891 census?

When was the last occasion/census you had with certainty accounts of Frances/Fanny and Albert?

EDIT Found the marriage cert for Henry Nealan and Mary Porter, his father was Patrick Nealan ( Dèceased) occ Skipper

Thanks for the great information. The 1881 census is the source of the family information I have, the children to George Rowland and Louisa are, George, Mary, William,Frances and Albert. Mary I have found and now William, but not the others. I also cannot find the parents.
