Wow I am impressed - A father at 80 and remarried at 90! Seriously though thanks for all your efforts Slowhands and Chris W.They are very much appreciated. Personally my money is on the milkman, William from Redbrook, as Sarah's father if only because of the dates. I know Sarah's maiden name because it is on the birth certificate of her daughter Desimiah(Poor girl.Her name never appears the same way more than once and my Aunt claims she was named Decima(?)after her).The name of the child's mother is Sarah Richards formerly Whittington. Given the mis-spellings of her daughter's name I have also considered similar sounding names eg. Whittenton etc. but with no luck. Pity, as I have done very well tracing the rest of my Forest of Dean ancestors, thanks to this wonderful resource. Kind Regards
