Hi
Millicent Clara Gifford married in 1894 at Viney Hill. Millicent was the daughter of Mark Gifford and his first wife Harriet Jones. He later married Phoebe Morse and had a daughter Damaris Maria born 1880 who was my grandmother.
Millicent married William Watts, the marriage certificate says Watts alias Ellway and they had three daughters, Miriam Millicent in 1895, Ida Ethel in 1898 and Elsie Maud in 1900.
I am trying to find out more information about the family.
