Hi
Im looking for info about William Underwood and his parents or siblings. He was born in 1847 in Yardley Hastings, Northamptonshire. He was married to a Rose A (I need her maiden name, and any info about her too!) and they had the following children - Frederick, Ethel, Emily, Ellen A, Edith, James/Jim, Egbert and John. His dad was also a William Underwood, born 1816 but I don´t know his mother´s name.

Thanks for any help.
Julie

Thanks to both of you, Lindsay and Glitter Baby, for the info.
I deduced that William Underwood was probably the father in question because my mum and aunt can remember the names of most of his children - their own old aunts when they were young. Thanks again.
