hi,thanks for your reply,its all very interesting,and i will
try to give you what i have.
i have the marriage certificate of john soady and julia delisle may 1867,it say,s john was a blacksmith in torquay
his father was joseph soady he was a superintendent coast guard,i found joseph and wife jane on a web page named british coastguards 1841-1901, joseph born 1803 east looe,
location, 1841 tresco scilly island, 1851 southsea, portsea, 1861 on pension at looe,they have 9 children one of
them is john born 1842 tresco, if i have this right then he
married julia and had a son walter born 1866 i think john died the same year (free bdm web page)julia then went to her mother in tenby at the albion hotel 1871 census after this time i cannot find walter but have found julia who then
married tom shepherdson and then goes on to marry john hartle they have tow children ruth and martha, ruth was my grandads mother.so who has the right john soady?, tell me what you think and we will try to unravel it.regards maxine
