Ceri she's on both.
Aged 69 in 1841 and 79 in 1851and birth county is given as Middlesex. She is a Cowkeeper and I know from other sources is linked to my Stanford Dairy clan!!!
Don't envy you with the wait for the baby, but it will all be worthwhile (she says with a 28 and 26 year old still living at home)

Thank you. I only gave the info for 1841 as I thought I had all the info needed but now her birth county is given as Middlesex in 1851 I'll look at the IGI.

Hi Faith
Not yet, she stubborn i think and doesnt want to come and say hello!!! My partner is getting so annoyed bless him!!

Do you know if your Susan/Susannah is on the 1851/1861 census at all?

This will make things a little easier..........1851

Age: 79
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1772

So, now you have her birth year and birthplace...most marriages took place in the bride's parish......so you might be able to trace hers on the IGI


This may well be her death...........

Thank you. I was hoping I might be able to buy the CD myself but don't know how to go about getting one. There are so many sites offering information I don't know which one to choose. It would be really nice if someone could do a search for me though as I live in N Wales.
Any news of the baby yet by the way!
Di

This is going to be a tricky one for you..........Susan was not born in Surrey, so your first problem is finding out in which county she was born.

Her death cert should say she was the 'widow of', which may help with tracing her marriage.

Have you looked at the IGI for the births of Eliza and Elizabeth?

One assumes they are her daughters.......but there is no way of knowing for sure, as 1841 does not list relationships.

Did either of them marry? The cert(s) would give their father's name and occupation.............

Reg

It would be Parish records you would find her as the records online only start from 1837!
However, if you are lucky someone may have birth/marriges/deaths on CD for Surrey and maybe able to search for you, or you may find that someone on here will be willing to locate you rellies for you when they visit the parish themselves.

If I have the details of a family member Susan ? Susannah Stanford from the Surrey 1841 census as being aged 65 and the head of the family, how do I now find her marriage/birth please. Am I right in thinking I need to look at the parish records and is there any way of doing this online.
Thanks
