Looking for a Susanna Court B1836 Folkestone she married a Stephen Court or Richard Seal in 1857 and was a widow in 1871 living with her brothers children, her surname still Court. I am favouring Stephen as her husband as there was also two deaths for a Stephen in 1860/1861. In 1881 still a widow lodger with no occupation. An 1861 Census would tell me her husbands name plus I am wondering if she got married again so if possible an 1891/1901 Census would be a help also.

Regards

Julia

All Dales born Folkestone

Thankyou that tells me everything I need to know.

Now I have a Henry James Court B1839 Folkestone. I found him on the 1881 Census with a Sarah Born Betley Stafford but I can't find a marriage at all. I have him in 1841 with parents William and Ann but he wasn't with his parents in 1851. Do you think I could get some help with this one please. 1881 Henry was a Clerk and they were living in Bootle Cum Linacre, Lancashire if that helps.

Thanks

Julia

Thank you Sophie, I wondered why I couldn't find a marriage on Sarah, it sounds like they were seperated doesn't it. I think I will leave them as is.
