I am looking for any trace of Radford Seal beyond 1871 Census which shows him working as a miner in Brotton having left his wife, Elizabeth in Soham. She eventually remarried as a widower in 1884 to John Darnell in Soham.

Puzzled :O

Hello Paul and welcome to the boards.

If you put RaTford Seal into the Search Trees box above (in the dark green bar), you will see that one other person on this site has him in their tree. If may be worth contacting the tree owner for further info. Regards. Cx.
