We have been scrolling down visitors book and found this from Roger Gadesden of West Sussex...
'I am tracing my family tree and from 1901 to 1881 I have my 4x gt grandfather, Jesse Gadesden living in Bower Lane. In 1871 I have them living in Westernside, but before that I cannot find and records, any help with this would be great.'

Think we've found him in 1861 living with his his sister and her family in Easternside Eaton Bray. His age works out and we can find no brother for Henry so we think it's brother of Christina.
