William and Elizabeth are my great, great grandparents.William was born in West Grinstead, Sussex, England in 1854.He lived in that area until he married Elizabeth in Islington, Greater London, London, England in 1874.After that he ran a Butcher Shop in Stowupland, Suffolk, England.I have no record of when he died (a piece of information I need).Elizabeth was born in Laxfield, Suffolk, England in 1850.She lived in that area until she went to work as a servant for the Hamilton family in St George Hanover Square, London, England around 1870.In 1874 she married William and moved to Suffolk where in 1875 she had William Tom (my great grandfather), 1878 - "Kate" Emily Elizabeth, 1879 - Elizabeth Ann, 1882 - Walter, 1885 - Wilfred, 1886 - Jesse Michael, 1888 - Joseph, 1889 -Ralph Antony, 1891 - Mary and Sarah (twins).She died at the age of 42 in Stowmarket, Suffolk, England in 1892.(she was probably exhausted from all that childbirth!)
