Rebecca Judith Larcher

[fantasyfudge]

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can help?
I have been trying to research an ancestor for a while now and apart from on her children's baptism records I cannot find anything about her at all.
Her married name is Rebecca Judith Larcher I believe that her maiden name is Martley.
Her date of birth is approx. 1771 in Shoreditch, Middlesex and she died in approx. 1836 in Bethnal Green ( I have this info from other family trees in Ancestry.
Her first child was born in approx. 1801 and she was married to Andrew Larcher, dob 1777, death 1847 Bethnal Green.
I believe that they lived in Gibraltar Gardens, Bethnal Green.
Any info or help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

First of all - trees on Ancestry are not a reliable source!  Unless the person can back them up with evidence, I wouldnt take any notice of them.

If you have found the children's baptisms, and they are the correct people you are tracing, then work back from them. HAve you found Andrew on 1841 census?

As a aside, is this one of her children's marriages?

21 Aug 1821
St Giles, Cripplegate
John Miller , bachelor of this parish to Ann Rebecca LArcher spinster of this parish
He signed, she made mark
Witnesses : William Miller and Rebecca Larcher (both signed)

My first reaction is that 1771 seems early for Rebecca's birth, making her some 6 years older than her husband and aged 30 on the birth of her first known child.

When was her last child born? I see an 1820 nonconformist baptism for a son Thomas Mark on Familysearch - was this an infant baptism?

Hi

Trees on Anc* are definitely wrong, one marriage quoted in May 1790 is NOT correct. This Andrew Larcher married Sarah Grafton, and only 13 years old

This old thread mentions the same couple several times:

Hi,
Thanks for your replies.
I have learnt my lesson the hard way with regards to Anc and have  had to scrap my first tree before now and start a new one which is why I am now checking on the Family search website and also asking questions on here from you lovely more experienced researchers.
Yes, the Ann Rebecca is a child of My Rebecca Larcher and Thomas Mark is her last know child, but try as I might on the various websites  I cannot find any birth, marriage or death record for her.

Not all Parish Registers are online anywhere. So she must have either not been christened , or was done in a parish not online. Likewise a marriage, maybe she didnt marry, or it was in a parish where the records are not online. As for burial , well she couldnt opt out of that!

What is the basis for thinking she was born c1771, and born in Shoreditch?

Has Thomas Mark been traced in other records to find his approximate date of birth? If he was a baby when baptised in 1820 then Rebecca must have been younger than you think.
