(picture supplied by Timothy and Glenda Driver) many thanks.

Ellen Austin was William and Mary’s fourth child and she was born in Napley Heath and seems to have had a settled marriage to William Taylor, and lived until the age of 78. There were five children, two girls and three boys, the older children may have been by Williams first wife Leticia Bennet , as yet there are no datable records of this marriage.

The 1881 census records show that they are living at Hook Gate near Ashley. William's job is a farm labourer.
