Wm Brown and Sarah Hargreaves were my gt gt grandparents, producing 2 daughters, one of which was my gt grandmother Isabella who married John Dwyer in 1870. Wm was a butcher but so far I have never traced any of his or Sarah's family.

Also, don't know whether you have this or not, but John & Isabella are living with John's mum and sisters. The 2 at the bottom are lodgers, both from Ireland.

Thanks Alison. I will certainly look at the wedding cert.
The Dwyer's I have slightly more on after a visit last year to Kilkenny. I have the names of Mgt snr's parents.
Not sure who the Newland's are, but will follow up! Thanks for your help and suggestions.
