I can't seem to find it anywhere! Francis Cushing, to Phoebe (Or Phabe, as it is on daughters birth certificate) Couzins. In Norfolk, most likely Walsingham district. Francis first wife died in December 1855, so it would be some time after that. But in the 61 census, Phoebe is recorded as his wife. Ta. Paul.

No sorry I don't think it could be it, he had children with Elizabeth Chamberlain in 1847 & 49, and she died in 1855. & on the 61 Census Francis & Phoebe are recorded as married.

1861 shows Francis as a mariner with daughters aged 14 and 12. This would seem to fit with 1846 marriage. Are we talking about two people? Jim

Her sisters Harriet Ann and Ann Elizabeth were also baptised on that day.

Yep, that is then in the 61 Census. Hmmm. That Baptism record's in 1853? Thats confused me, because Francis first wife didn't die until 1855.

Jim, yep thats him, the mariner, but he was married to Elizabeth Chamberlin in '51, and Phoebe in '61.

have you got marriage cert for Francis and first wife??

Yes 1853. Three daughters baptised on same day. Doesnt say birth dates, so dont know which order they were born in.

Could he have a relative with same name?

Possibly, thats what i'm starting to think now. Do you know what the daughters who were baptised called? Were they Harriet and Ellen?

Nope haven't got his marriage certificate for his first wife. Can't find that record either!

just checked marriages from 1856 to 1861 and couldn't find marriage for a Francis Cushing. Marie

CAN'T FIND 1851 - DO YOU HAVE REF? JIM
