Thanks to all who have replied and helped me to sort this one out.

I think I now have it.

Fred was the illegitimate son of Thomas ELLWAY (b 1821 Pillowell,son of John and Mary ELLWAY died 1887)and Sarah BROWN.

Sarah was a widow and was the housekeeper to Thomas who was also widowed. The 1871 Census has them living at Ellwood with Fred having the surname BROWN. He was Thomas' son as shown in the BMD for Gloucestershire and reverted back to his correct name by 1891 when he was married.

Fred went onto have 14 children including Noah whose son William Frederick was killed in action in Holland 1945, 10 days before the end of WW2.

Thanks again
