Ps Rena, I was born and bought up in Windsor

Yes, but not in 1868?   :D

I was in Windsor briefly a few decades ago.  I was taking our youngest son to see his big sister "down south" and hadn't realised I would be passing through Windsor until I came upon the castle (don't ask !)  If I'd had the time I would definitely have spent a while being a sightsee-er.

No but my ancestors were there from at least pre-1820 and 1809 from a neighbouring village, they didn’t move far.  :D I have spent many hours in Reading (Berkshire) RO and the local library pouring over parish records.

It might be worth exploring the local Windsor history forum http://www.rootschat.com/links/01oq0/

Just discovered Queen Victoria reviewed thousands of troops in Windsor Great Park on 20th June, two weeks before marriage so that gives me some ideas to pursue. Plus I will try the Windsor forum. Thank you.
