Norfolk Lookup Requests / Marriage of Julia Bloye & John Laird prior to 1813
« on: Wednesday 30 March 16 15:29 BST (UK) »
Julia's surname is a guess based on the middle name of a daughter, Mary Bloye Laird born c1816, Lynn ....
Julia died in Lynn, 1839 at the age of 53 - giving an approx. birth year of 1786.
John Laird and his 3 daughters are in Lynn for the 1841 census - the eldest girl Sarah Julia was born c1813 in Lynn.
John is around in 1851 and gives his Birthplace as Portsmouth Hants c 1777. But I doubt that - there was a clan of Lairds in the Lynn area from the mid 1700s ..... but that's by the bye.
I have searched fruitlessly over the years for their Marriage - in the last few years more records were made available and I found Julia's death record from the Parish Registers.
I wonder if a fresh pair of eyes may have better luck?
My searches focused on the Kings Lynn area, but I did look further afield to no avail.
My thanks in anticipation, Dolly
