The Southam Family
My great-grandfather William Southam was born in 1829 in Catesby in Northamptonshire. He married Eliza Green, born Wormleighton, Warks. They lived in Ladbroke, Warks, in a cottage next to the School House that still exists but is now a private house. They had children: William 1857, Elizabeth 1860, Mary Matilda 1863, Albert 1870 and George 1870 (Ttwins), and Frederick 1873. Any photos of Ladbroke around these times would be much appreciated.You can e-mail me: patbutler10@btinternet.com

Later she was a domestic servant in Long Ittchington Hall, then she married a William Wells, born 1871 in Harbury, his father was Edward Wells, his mother was Harriet Wells, maiden name Sheasby. They go back a long way, all from around the Harbury area. Mary (Tilly as she was known) had one child with William, named Ruth Francis Marian Wells. On my researching my family tree it seems Ruth emigrated to California. William and Aunt Tilly married in 1896. Aunt Tilly died in 1952 in Harbury. I cannot find any information on William Wells's death, was he in the army? If anyone has any information on the Wells or Sheasby family from the Harbury area, living or... Read more
