Hi and thanks for your help
It is a strange one your correct, i have the original thread on the West Yorkshire forum under 'Albert Victor Pointing', but figured i had better put this latest elusive person (William Symmonds) under the Wales forum as that was where he married Florence Lewis. (Furber). She was previously married to a John Lewis in 1878, had a child called David Lewis in 1881 and then married the above William Symmonds in 1882. I have no idea what happened to her previous husband or son David. Then in 1891 Florence was 'living' with a John Henry Pointing (Henry Poynter) in Brecknock in Wales. She had changed all the Symmonds childrens surname to Pointing, and she was also Poynter at this time. My family line is from the Victor Augustine Symmonds , the child she had with William above in 1888. Victor Augustine Symmonds later changed his name to Albert Victor Pointing, which was my original thread in West Yorkshire as i couldnt find him, not knowing then he had changed his name. He is with his mother Florence and Henry Pointing in 1891 under the name of Victor Pointing. I want to follow the Symmonds name now as Albert Victor wasnt born a Pointing as the family thought, and Symmonds was his birth name. Hope that all makes sense. Like i put earlier the original thread under Albert Victor Pointing is on the West Yorkshire forum which may help x
