Thank you both for your replies.
I am hoping I will find the baptisms for Hodevia and Francis on this site.
I have found Hannah and William had two more children, Charles and Martha, these two are a mystery too, so maybe this site will help me with these also.
Lucretia gave birth to my husband's grandfather Ernest Henry in 1877 in Westbury on Severn Workhouse, he was brought up by his grandparents and Lucretia went to Manchester to service, I don't know if they ever met again.
My husband and I went to Gloucester Records Office last year to find out from the workhouse records why Lucretia was there, but unfortunately, the records for this time did not exist, so we have hit quite a few brick walls with this family.
We believe she may have been in the workhouse because she was pregnant and not married, as her family lived and worked in the home of a very well known family in that time.
