Does it answer your questions or open up more?
Sister Lelly, I apologise for not replying to this before, yes this is spot on. My g,grandmother re-married when Varley snr died.
I've collated a great deal of her life info so far, the only thing I would like to find out is her movements between 1883 and 1890 when she married Eden.I suspect she may well have spent this time in service at Fulwood Park, as her children were born there in 1884 and 1885.I'm getting there thanks to the kind help offered by everyone up to now, the only thing I am not likely to discover is the name of the father of her two illegitimate sons ( born in 1879 and 1880) but I have a cunning plan to discover if possible where she was in service at the time !
Thanks again Lelly, regards,Tom.
