From their childrens' names I would agree that the mother's maiden name is CROW.

George BELL married AZNBAH CROW Mar qtr 1841 Louth (14/647)

Just to rule her out -
There is an Asaba CROW (25) in Leake in 1841.  A few houses down is a Charlotte CROW (45) with William (12) and James (11).

An Azuba CROW baptised at Friskney in 1813, parents Edward and Charlotte.

However, I don't think is your Azubah CROW - as there is another of the same name marrying in 1844 - most likely William Holderness SKILL. They can be seen on future censuses and her place of birth is Leake/Friskney.

There is an Azubah MOODY baptised at Theddlethorpe on 30 May 1816, mother is Lark MOODY. (I can see a transcription only)

A Lark MOODY marries John CROW on 6 Dec 1827 at Theddlethorpe. From the image - I think it could be Sarah MOODY.

Modified to add:
Maybe it is "Lark". they appear on the 1851 census at Theddlethorpe, John CROW is a farmer of 23 acres.

I have one question about George and Azubah marriage date of 1841. In the 1841census they seem to have older children. I’m a little confused thanks if you can help me understand this

Can anyone really know who their true (biological) father is?  ;D Unfortunately in this case the baptism clearly shows just the mother. She didn't marry until 11 years later. I can't see any other children baptised to Lark MOODY before her marriage. I can't see any bastardy records or newspaper accounts - others may be able to find something?

Perhaps dna may be of help here?

Sarah LARK married Thomas MOODY 09 Dec 1784 St Helen, Theddlethorpe .
His occp Labourer.

This appears to be the right Marriage given Sarahs maiden name.

Larke was bapt 1794 but on FreeREG I cant pin down other children born post 1784 and up to the bapt of Lark/e.
There are possible children born several other places to them

Burials same Church;
SARAH Moody 26 Feb 1825 age 70 (1755)
THOMAS Moody 26 Aug 1827 age 74 (1753)

Looks like the Larks are from Theddlethorpe as SARAH Lark was bapt there 31 Mar 1755 to JOHN/SARAH

SARAH Wife of JOHN buried there 14 Mar 1776 age 62 (1714)

They seem have only 1 other child JANE bapt 07 Mar 1753 so seem to have married late in life.
There are other bapts to John/Jane so he may have been married before.

John married Sarah LILLY 28 Jun 1750. Does not say widowed on FreeREG.

Cant see a burial for John
