hi
i have found a marr for phoebe partridge on free bmd dec qtr 1838 problem is it comes up with 3 poss for that qtr james brown george gould samuel miller
is there another way to trace who it was that she married without purchasing cert just yet
any info appreciated

You could look for all three men's names in the 1841 or 1851 census and look to see if one of them has a wife called Phoebe.

hi kath
thank you
could a kind soul look up those 1841 & 1851 census please

Just had a look and can't find one of them with a Phoebe at the moment. I'll keep looking.

Been looking as well at 1851 without much luck

When and where was she born?

Elizabeth, Mary, Emely, appear to be Phoebe's daughters - they are all 'visitors'

freewheel
the ages as you say are way way out

So - who are you looking for?

A woman born c1803, as you say, would probably have married long before 1838

How did you get back to her?

You should be working backwards, step by step, to get reliable results

so samuel & fanny mlller are the parents of phoebes hubby ??

freewheel
ok will do some more searching
thank you

freewheel
i have phoebes birth cert she was born 1803 beer devon
the only marr to come up on free bmd for phoebe was axminster 1838
i believe that to be her

Sorry, david, but you can't have a birth cert for 1803.

Certs were not issued for ANY events until July 1837
