Hi Reggie

Greetings from Australia.

Many thanks.

My information shows he was born in Manchester. This is on my mothers side.

Marion we have as Isobella. Full name Marion Isobella Ritson 1866.

Marion Beatrice Hitchen her daughter was my grandmothers name and she married John Withers. Working on that side of the family as well.

Need to now work back. Going very well on the Brand side but more limited success with Hitchen and Withers.

Thanks for the heads up. Very much appreciated.

Cheers
David

We did not have the Grooms fathers details or a confirmed surname for Sarah Ann.

Something now to work on. Appreciate the lead.
