William is my great,great grandfather. He was born around 1825-26 in Worcester, I think. Can anyone please help with info regarding this family? I know they had a son, George, my great grandfather in 1855. They were mostly farmers or farm labourers I think.

Thank you all for your help. No, I do not have a birth, marriage or death certificate for William or George. I am about 80% sur Laynton was George's mother's maiden name.
