Sylvia, where did you get his name?

Do you have them on any census?

What was the name of the two boys' mother?

What was the event in 1897 that you assume he had died before?

Thank you for the information. All the above is correct except for the 1881 census which was the wrong Reynolds, but I have now got back to 1825. Thank you once again. Sylvia :-)
