    Aha, that is what I was looking for, his first marriage.

    Knowing this where does it lead us as to William B Pickering's grandparent being a Divers.
    We have his parents as John Pickering 1808, baptized at Bermondsey, mother Rebecca Elizabeth Turney.
    Rebecca's parents as Thomas and Ann Turney and John's father as Samuel with mother possibly Elizabeth.

    Now I need a lifebuoy!

    Wiliam B = William Baugh

    Thomas T= Thomas TURNEY

    Alexander S = Alexander SCHLUSSER

    I received a post from Christa ,saying Mary Turney married William Baugh in
    St Mary, Newington, Surrey 13 May 1826. With her parents in 1841. She was living with the Turneys in Westerham Kent, aged 40.
    John Divers married to Matilda Elizabeth in 1881 at Woods Terrace Camberwell. His grandson W.B Pickering and W.B,s 2 daughters were also living at that address. Thanks Cynthia Alter

    A friend found a view of Rebecca Elizabeth Pickering nee Turney's will., my g.granf father's wife dd,18 Nov.1880, which mentions sons Samuel and Alexander Schlusser Pickering. My g.grandfather did not list either of them, nor his sister Elizabeth A in his hand written list of which I received a copy. Yesterday I came across an article in the NWKFS VOL. 9 NO 5 DD MARCH 2002 , written by a Roger Sutton of Lancing, West Sussex mentioning the his g.grandfather was John Turney Pickering , with the same parents as William Baugh. Unfortunately I do not know if he is still alive but I have written to him enclosing my e-mail address. Is this not amazing?
    I am also wondering where the Schlusser name came from. Did the families name their children after relatives and friends in the hope of recognition or money reward? Thank you again for all the help given, I am slowly finding famiily members through your efforts and kindness. regards Cynthia Pickering Alter.

    I was given a copy of a page of Deaths and burials by a friend who has also caught the my "bug trail". Matilda Elizabeth Divers was buried on 31 October 1905. Resided At Katy's cottage, Dawes Lane, Mills Hill, NW. Buried at Norwood Cemetery, Norwood Road,Lambeth.
    John and Matilda Elizabeth Nee Stofell were married on 23 January 1834 at Shoreditch St Leonard, Hackney. John was baptised at Goodnestone,(near Faversham) Kent on8 March 1795. House hold members were Catherine and 2 John Divers, Still can not find out were the relationship to William Baugh Pickering comes in. Thanks for all info received...Regards Cynthia Pickering Alter.
