Rachel

Rachel Report 13 Dec 2011 08:11

Hi, I'm looking for some help with tracing the maiden name of my great great grandmother Rachel.

From census records I've deduced that she was born in 1876 - or 1875/1877 depending on when her birthday was, in Bury, Lancashire.

She married Edward Alfred Fenn, who was also born in c.1876, in around 1859 - again an approximate date gleaned from census records. I don't know where they married.

Edward was born in Norwich and his parents were Edward and Mary. All of Edward and Rachel's children were born in Norwich. I presume therefore that they married in Norwich but I have no concrete evidence of this.

My ancestry subscription has run out and I can't afford another so if someone could be so kind as to help me find the marriage cert and maiden name of Rachel, and then some details of her family in Lancashire, I would be incredibly grateful, thank you!
