Hi Austin, Chris and Mel, thank you so much for all your hard work in finding out all this wonderful information.
Henry and Maria's daughter Sarah married Walter Jones b.1843/5 Sarah and Walter had a son named Walter b.1871. I know nothing of Walter b.1843/5.
As you have done such a great job on my Henry would you be so kind as to try and find out a little about Walter.
Once again a big thank you
Marilyn

Yes that looks much better Austin. I was going by the fact that there was a child called Jane and maybe after his mother??
