Welcome to Rootschat.

I notice she died in Parkstone in 1869. Is it just the 1841 census you are missing?

Do you mean that you have found her children but not her in 1841, or not found any of them?

There is an Ann Marsh here, is this her daughter?

Hi Richard and Chempat.

Thank you for welcome and responses

All I have for Anna Maria is her baptism Worth Matravers opc 1832 Anna Maria Marsh Base Born Keturah    Widow     Marriage and Death in Poole

I haven't been able to find anyone  for 1841 At the moment they all seem to have vanished could they possibly have gone to a workhouse?

This is a very old post but they seem to be tracing the same family:

Possible:

1846:  Elizabeth Marsh d James Marsh, labourer m Charles Cattle in Poole

1851  HO 107/1856 (indexed as Cottle)
Charles Cattle, 28, b Langton Matravers
Elizabeth Cattle, 24, b L. M.
Elizabeth Cattle, 4, b Poole
Ellen Cattle, 2, b Poole

Charles Cattle hadn't moved to Poole by 1841 and the best bet for Elizabeth would appear to be an Elizabeth Marsh, 15-19, who is living in Swanage, v close to the Matravers (HO107/279/6).

I notice she died in Parkstone in 1869.

I can only find a death in Q1 1870 registered Poole district.

All I have for Anna Maria is her baptism Worth Matravers opc 1832 Anna Maria Marsh Base Born Keturah    Widow     Marriage and Death in Poole

Did she actually marry and die in Poole or were the events registered in Poole registration district? Poole reg district covers quite a large area, although it lost some of the northern bit in 1974.

I've found the burial record now, indexed both in Feb 1869 and Feb 1870. If you look at the image, the page has been headed 1869, but the last three burials go over into the new year (1870). Keturah Marsh of Parkstone was buried at Longfleet on Feb 18th 1870, age 72.
