Thank you so much for your quick reply (and sorry, I should have added more information to help others!).

This is really useful. I tried to trace a previous partner for Fanny Shaw nee Edwards, but it appears she was an unmarried mum, which I didn't know. I can now continue my search looking at the maternal side. Thank you also, for finding Elijah.

I will put a separate request on the forum for information about Harriet Abel.

Once again many thanks.

Hotfoot,
