Goatley Cullum
- Berkshire (County, BRK, Berks, England)
I am trying to trace Frances Humphries Cullum (maiden name) and John Cullum. Frances Humphries Cullum married William Goatley in 1859 and had 2 children Florence Annie and Catherine Fanny. Catherine Fanny died aged 6. And Frances died in 1877. William brought up a child named as his daughter but I am awaiting her birth cert which I think will possibly prove otherwise. Frances Margaret Smith born IOW had Goatley as another surname interest.
In the 1881 census Frances Margaret aged 1 is living with John and Anne Cullum in Berkshire. I am trying to find out what relation Frances Humphies Cullum was to John. Can anyone help? Thank you.
