In case anyone has not discovered this - a useful tip (I think):

I never used to use BMD on Ancestry as I found it far too slow having to trawl through each quarter. HOWEVER, I have discovered that if you just type the name into the main search page, which I did in this case, even though this lady was not going to be in any census's) - i.e. - Home page - historical records !
THEN, when the results came up I went straight to the BMD listing for the latest time period and 'there she was' !

SO much quicker and easier than searching through the BMD's !

You will need to cut down the time span and area Ben - it would take hours to trawl every quarter of every year in every area to find a possible marriage. The likely period is not name searchable.

When were her children born and where?
