Hi Carole Thanks again for this (and to Kaye for the earlier information). I think I've now found the MATTHEWS - HARDING connection explaining how the daughter of Alfred TEAGLE/Sarah HARDING was "niece" to Robert MILSOM/Elizabeth MATTHEWS (born Keynsham, dau of Benjamin MATTHEWS): Benjamin MATTHEWS married Mary Ann HARDING, 31 March 1835, Publow, Somerset (source IGI) - Publow is close to Keynsham (IGI only has a christening of one daughter: Mary Ann MATTHEWS. c29 Dec 1844, Oldland (roughly between Hanham and Keynsham) So Robert MILSOM's wife Elizabeth's mother was a HARDING. One possibility I'm going to investigate is that Sarah HARDING bc1833 might have been Mary Ann HARDING's daughter before she married Benjamin MATTHEWS, making Sarah (HARDING) TEAGLE and Elizabeth (MATTHEWS) MILSOM half sisters. I cannot be sure that Sarah is her only name, as Alfred TEAGLE's marriage in Bitton (near Keynsham) in 1856 was to Elizabeth HARDING - yet his wife is Sarah on all census 1861-1891. Yes, I have a copy of the marriage entry in the Fishponds parish register for Isaac Septimus MILSOM of Sopworth and Alice Mathilda TEAGLE - I'll look it out tonight and post details tomorrow. I should perhaps mention the Hawkesbury connection - Alfred TEAGLE, though born Didmarton, was the grandson of John TEAGLE and Ann COAT(E)S, who married 24 May 1802 in St Mary's Hawkesbury.
