Member Since: January 2004 Posts: 8 Send Message	I am trying to find out more about my great grandparents JAMES WADEY (1872-1931) & ELIZA BOXALL (c.1871-1944, also known as ELIZA LEE), who married in Brighton in 1890. Both bride & groom were about 18 at that time. They had between 6 and 14 surviving children, including Nell (b.1891), James (b.1893, who we think died in childhood), George Albert (b.1899), Rose (b.1901), Norah (b.1911) & twins Bilkie & Harry (b.1912). I am also trying to find out more about my great great grandparents JAMES WADEY (born c.1848 in Woking, Surrey, died of TB in Brighton, 1882 ) & his wife FANNY MOOR(E) (born Kent c.1851, died of uterine cancer in Brighton workhouse, 1895). By the time of the 1881 census they were living in Brighton, Sussex and had four children all born in Brighton: James (1872), Elizabeth (1874), Emma (1876) & Sarah Jane (1878). James & Fanny were only formally married in 1882, just 13 days before he died. Please could you let me know if any of this sounds familiar to you as I am having problems tracing this line any further back, nor do I have many details of the descendants of either James's other children. However, I do have some photos of Eliza and several of her daughters in the early twentieth century. Cheers, Claire
