How lovely, we share a great great grandmother! I did have Sarah as Willings at first but was advised that she was probably Williams - I love trying to picture these people, and i find Sarah very interesting. she must have had a hard life making ends meet, especially after Josiah died,and still seems to have been quite poor after marrying Barnabus. And all those children! I do have the 1841 census, also 1851 and 1861 showing that your great grandmother was still living with Sarah then, after Barnabus had died. Presumably the grandson William on that census is your grandfather? I would love to know what happened to them, and also if you have any information on descendants of the rest of the children, Scrivens or Smith.I suppose we are third half-cousins, if that relationship exists!obviously i can tell you about my Smith side, and will happily do so - you can email me direct on martandang@btinternet.com
