Hi anyone, I am sorry to keep being a pest I am trying to find a Hannah Brooks or she could be Barrow or Barron born about 1821 in either Gloucester or Hereford. On the 1851 census she was age 29 living in monmouth with her parents and place of birth is stated as Gloucester city. I believe she then married a William Beach in Dec qtr 1851 and on the 1871 census she has become Anna Beach and it says she is 49 and was born in Bacton Hereford. I know this is all confusing, but I am sure she is the same person. Both these records offices are a long way from me and I don't know which one to start at so if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Elaine

This is a very confusing one, Elaine. I'm sure this is her on the 1861 census but she says she's born in Monmouth, and where's hubby? 1861 census Fives Court, Monmouth, Monmouthshire, Wales Hannah Beach, head, married, 40, pudler's wife, born Monmouth Joseph, son, 8. born Redbrook, Gloucestershire Fanny, dau, 3, born Monmouth William, son, 6 months, born Monmouth Update, hubby seems to be in Redbrook, Gloucestershire. Lodger has been struck out and changed to head. He's age 40, married, born Redbrook and a labourer.
