Hi all, I was just following up the Holley siblings and saw the 1873 marriage of Edward Holley and Martha Major on John's website. The witnesses were John and Fanny Kewell. Now the witnesses can be placed in their own family tree. John was, I believe, born ca 1844 (FreeBMD Kingsclere RD 4Q 1844 7 163) at Ecchinswell to John and Letitia Kewell nee Bridgeman. His wife, Fanny Powers, he married in 1872 in Hungerford RD 3Q 2c 347. Perhaps Fanny Powers was related to the William Powers who married Sarah Holley. It looks like John Kewell died in 1913 FreeBMD Kingsclere RD 1Q 2c 318 with a given age of 67 so it must have been his father who died in 1855 (FreeBMD Kingsclere RD 3Q 2c 121) . John has an 1855 burial so it does neatly fit together. The 1851 census shows John had a older brother Charles Kewell who had been born at Greenham, Berks ca 1836. His younger brother Henry we know married a Sarah , It looks like it could be Sarah Richardson in 1872 in Brentford RD. There is already a William Bridgeman = Alice Richardson marriage in 1806 at Newtown, Hants.
