mmmm.. not sure as they seem to have moved to Old Windsor after 1871.....however

Its a bit of a saga so bear with me!!

William Head of House (b1840) took the family to Windsor. One of his sons Frederick (b1871) went to France and was a race horse trainer (married into the Cunningtons) his eldest Fred came back to England to escape the WWI. He came to Gloucester and from what I have been told learnt his trade as a baker under his uncle who I am assuming was Fredericks brother William (b 1862). His sister Lucie also came to England married and moved her family to Gloucester in WW2 (my grandmother)

Fred (my great uncle Fred) owned 2 bakeries 1 down Westgate st (which I think is still a bakery) and 1 in the grounds of what was Dunelm Mills on London Road.

So I am intrigued as to whether William stayed in this area or came back and why they moved (Im assuming work as was usual)so much, Wales, Bridgwater, Swansea, Windsor then back to Gloucester
