Andy

Thanks, there is a lot to be digested, it does look as though Susannah married again, have you any idea who Richard was the son of/siblings etc.?

What does this mean?
*****Meredith Susannah
Metcalf Sarah Ann
*****Morris Richard
Wood Alfred.

I take it that Susannah maiden name was Meredith, if this is correct has anyone any information on her? and who are the other two people mentioned

There are quite a few Richard Morris births around the same time (c1843)
You will need a copy of his marriage cert which will show his fathers name/occupation (if known) to help census search.

This could be SusannahMeredith with here parents and siblings from 1851 census

The address says 'Quarry View Buildings'. There are literally pages of families with the same address. The previous road name in census records is New Street.
