One for the sleuths - Henry John Southwood

[Pam Downes]

What a brilliant find in 1861, David. Yes, that's Henry.

However, William and the older Elizabeth's surname isn't Freedom. (Ancestry have it transcribed as Freradern, with someone noting that Elizabeth is also Tresadern and Southwood).

Marriage FreeBMD Elizabeth Southwood and William Tresadenn on the same page December quarter 1860.
Parish register entry for Holy Trinity, Gray's Inn Road, on 30 December 1860.
William Tresadern, 21, bachelor, printer, address Grays Inn Road. Father Joseph Tresadern, printer.
Elizabeth Southwood, 23, spinster, no occupation given, Gray's Inn Road. Father Joseph Southwood, wire worker.
Witnesses: Henry Southwood, and Maria Tresadern.

Birth registrations for children of William and Elizabeth:
William Joseph Tresadern, December quarter 1864, Holborn registration district.
Judging by the (very poor) image for 1871 there should also have been an Elizabeth, but I can't find a registration on either FreeBMD or the GRO Historical births.

[There are two other Tresadern births in Holborn registration district for a George Joseph in 1863 and a Sarah Maria in 1870 but their mother's maiden name is Davidson.]

1871 census reference RG10/372 folio 30 page 56.
Elizabeth, widow, is living with children Elizabeth and William, mother Elizabeth Southwood, and brother Joseph Southwood, and niece Elizabeth Southwood.

Think this is husband William's death registration - William Trasadarn (sic), age 25, March quarter 1866, Holborn registration district. (FreeBMD and GRO Historical deaths.)

Baptisms:
Parish of St Andrew Holborn 6 June 1865 (on same day)
Elizabeth Maria Tresadern, born 3 December 1861, daughter of William and Elizabeth. 15 Dean Street, father, warehouseman.
William Joseph Tresadern, born 2 October 1864, son of William and Elizabeth. 15 Dean Street, father, warehouseman.

Can I echo Pam's sentiments - talk about squaring the circle!
