Elizabeth Reeve birth and death
« on: Thursday 30 July 15 14:07 BST (UK) »
Hello

I would appreciate it greatly if someone could assist in a matter that has been bugging me

Love Ingram of Great Yarmouth married Elizabeth Reeve in 1792 at St Nicholas Church.

They had multiple children, their last child was born in 1813, Isabella Ingram.

Love died in 1840, looking at his will, which is online, his possessions are given to his children, but there is no mention of his wife from the looks of it.

This means she may be dead by 1840.

Looking at the burials, there is an Elizabeth Ingram dying in 1836, the age however would put her birth year as 1780, meaning she would only be 12 at the time of the marriage. Love was born in 1767, so that would be too late a birth year.

I would be grateful if someone could help find a burial for her, maybe it would give us an indication of when she was born.

thanks  :)

There is an Elizth Ingram buried 21/9/1830 aged 62 (born c1768) in Great Yarmouth St Nicholas that looks a likely bet.
