1871 and 1861 Cambridge
« on: Tuesday 26 April 05 11:15 BST (UK) »
I have found the following in the 1881 Census:

Rebecca Crane, b.1820 Willingham Cambs.  Widow.  Resident Church Street, Willingham, Cambs.  With her is her grandson, Harry Ellwood, b.1865 in Willingham.

I am keen to find Rebecca in 1871 and 1861 if possible.  I think she may be a diplomatic widow, rather than a real one, and only finding her earlier will help.

Regards

Thanks CAZ.  She's obviously a 'real widow' and therefore not the one I am looking for.  I have a Rebecca, born 1820 in Willingham who married a Crane.  She disappears after 1851, and I was hoping she had returned to her home village under the guise of widow.

Thanks for your help in eliminating her from my research.

Regards
