Member Since: June 2007 Posts: 121 Send Message	Can anyone help? I've been looking for this relative Priscilla Mumford for ages. She was born in Herefordshire c 1815. Married Richard Cooke from Stoke Prior and had several children. My connection is Mary Ann Cooke (b1855). I have found the family in the 1851 and 1861 Census in Herefordshire and then they disappear. Mary Ann married in 1875 (Bham) to Edwin Scott. Many thanks Jayne

Member Since: April 2003 Posts: 1,686 Send Message	Hi Just been looking for their marriage with no luck, I have search the marriage records from Sept 1837 when they began to 1841, no sign. I am beginning to think they weren't married. For her birth details you need to check Parish records, as births weren't record with the GRO till Sept 1837. But I did find this which I thought you might find interesting. 1841 Census: Priscilla Monford Age: 30 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1811 Gender: Female Where born: Herefordshire, England Civil Parish: Elton Hundred: Wigmore County/Island: Herefordshire Country: England Street address: Occupation: View Image Registration district: Ludlow Sub-registration district: Leintwardine Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Elizabeth Monford 1 Priscilla Monford 30 Ag Lab Richard Monford 20 When you actually read it their names are Cooke.

Member Since: June 2007 Posts: 121 Send Message	Hi Cheryl Thanks for taking the time to look. It is interesting. Is it possible? That they gave the wrong surname? Richard I believe was father unknown. I had thought that Mumford might have been a name that you could get wrong. Thanks for looking. Rgds Jayne
