Who was Fanny Blackwell / Carr

[Ceeoh]

I am currently working on the Buckinghamshire Carr family and cannot find Fanny.  Can anyone help.

William Carr born 1838 Lane End married Elizabeth Blackwell (born 1844) in Lane End 1862.
They had one daughter Elizabeth Ellen Carr born 15 February 1863 (date not confirmed)
Elizabeth (mother) died March quarter 1863 (childbirth related??)

William remarried to Fanny Blackwell in 1864. In 1871 gives Fanny gives her age as 39 (born 1831/2) and all subsequent census as a year younger born 1841/2.

I have been unable to find any birth registration for either Fanny Blackwell or Elizabeth Ellen Carr.

On various census Fanny's birth place is given as Marlow, West Wycombe and Wheeler End.

Elizabeth Ellen's birthplace 1871 is given as Marlow.  The only record I have of her.

Fanny died Sept quarter 1916 reg Wycombe, age given as 75

Input would be appreciated.
Many thanks

Sorry don't have that.  Only have registration December quarter 1864 registered Wycombe, and subsequent census returns for William and Fanny Carr.

If that is her in 1851 aged 19, she was born 1832, so before registration. Your only hope is if you can find her baptism.

Sorry, we crossed Rosie. Looks as if she knocked 10 years off her age!

Very many thanks.  This certainly looks like Fanny.  With a ten year age change - she lived to a good age then.

Have accessed the 51 and 61 census on FindMyPast - it's struggling to find the 41.

Many thanks Rosie and groom.  Once again rootschatters have come up trumps.
Most appreciated

Much more than I could have hoped for.

1841 image Henry and Elizabeth (Fanny Blackwell) are living next door to the parents of William Carr's first wife Richard and Harriett (Elizabeth Blackwell).

Thank you
