Scrap that- I have found her but not spelt the way we were thinking!

I found her in a census earlier, mother was Phebe.  Think it was 1851. Address didnt help, it was just "row 60", tried to work back to enumerators to page to see what it was all about, but had to go before I made any progress.

Hi Gail,

It was probably the Chapel Denes.

Great Yarmouth has an area called "The Denes" which originally stood outside the old walls.
This link gives details of a mill which once stood on the Chapel Denes - (scroll down to Mill 7), and gives a short desciption.
