His father was known as "Sir Billy".
His birthplace is not far from here, I might try to find out more about him.

Adeliza Pratt's father was a Victualler

Oh we must be bored we get interested by anything lol.

I've been doing my mum's half-sisters tree (her dad's side) on account of her (the mensa member) not being able to get into it!

Wow, Adeliza was quite a common name *shocked*

The Woodroffe family are far more interesting than mine !
Might get a deed poll form to change my name.

nooooooooooooooooo!

Have just looked up on the IGI they have got him down as Samual ...........De Shaw (Decheux)......


Yes, as if I have not got enough of my own tree to sort out! LOL xx

Can't find either on the following censuses... :-( I looked for her rather than the men as they have dull names lol.
