That Williams family from 1851 in 1841:
Drury Lane, Derby William Williams 30 Publican Y Ann Williams 30 Ireland Ann Williams 4 Y Mary Williams 2 Y. At least we know now that if this is the right family for Hannah, the 1874 marriage is the wrong one.

Thankyou Kiterunner, do you think we'll find a link that will connected Hannah as Edward's mother.

This side of my tree I have found the hardest, due to not knowing much about Edward, but I do appreciate all the help you are giving me.

Still struggling to find anything to prove it's your Edward's family, but I have found a likely death for Sarah - Sarah Jane Williams death Oct-Dec 1881 Northampton, age 12. I don't think the death certificate is likely to have anything to help though. But if it is her, then we know (a) not to look for her on later censuses and (b) she is Hannah's daughter from before the marriage to Henry (if there was one), which looked pretty likely anyway. Oh, and (c) that her middle name was Jane.

One thing that comes to mind is that if you ever find yourself in Northampton, you could visit Northamptonshire Record Office and see if you can find school admission / discharge records for that Edward Jones who was at Bristol Street, age 7, in 1881. It might have more information about his family plus it might show how long he lived there. I had a similar problem in my tree that I was stuck on for years and only solved it when ancestry put the London school admissions and discharges online. Of course it wouldn't be so easy with Northampton as there won't be a name index so you would have to guess which school(s) he would have gone to and might have to try a few. If there were separate infants and junior schools then you might find him starting at infant school around 1878-9 and junior school around 1880-1. If you did find a school admission record for him it should give his exact date of birth; also it could be that his name changes from Williams to Jones, you never know!
Also if there is a Northampton school record for Florence Rose, we would know that they stayed in Northampton for a few years at least.

Thanks Kiterunner, one day I'd hope I'd find out more about my elusive Great grandfather, his youngest daughter is still alive in her 90's, but won't talk about her father. So may be I won't find out anymore than I already have.

If only we knew which workhouse he might have been in, you could try workhouse records, but we don't even know which county to look at.

Do you think there could be a link between Edward & Rose, Is it worth me keeping the cert I had for Rose.

Definitely! I do think she could be his sister. We just need some info to prove it.
