Find Ancestors

Hi Stephanie, I amlooking for your help agian. You recently found my family of Watts in Axford Ramsbury, and I am hoping you can find a few missing children for me. Igi has listed to Edward and Harriet Watts a Oscar henry 1848, Ernest 1837 and Wallace 1840. These three dont turn up on the census till at least 1881. Where are they in between? Julie

Hi Stephanie, Please could you look for Hannah and William Dyer, Sophia and John Dyer and Sarah and Abraham Potter, they lived either in Purton or Dauntsey. Many thanks, M.
