Greetings all. I am looking for a Preece family, and having difficulty locating them earlier than 1861. They were in Ealing, Brentford, Middlesex in 1861. There was John(43), Ellen(33), Ann(11), Thomas(8), Ellen(4) and Eliza(2). John is said to be born in Herefordshire, Ellen in Amersham, Bucks. In later census returns their daughter Ann was born in either Bucks or Middlesex. Ellen was Morton (or possibly Horton) prior to the marriage. I have a suspicion that Ellen may not be John's first wife. Any sightings of them or their children earlier than 1861 would be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance for any help you can give.
