but what I can try is to look at the census of the children and follow them to see if I get nieghbours....of the m/c as witnesses

Sue ...I dont know the names on the m/c.....


yes Malcolm I think that might be the right Peter ...but will send for his death cert ...might give someone AT death!!!
or address

Are the witnesses names on the m/c known family ?

The Peter that Reg has found in 1881 is a builders labourer so he could be a painter.
