Hi,
Havn`t found yours yet, but several others with Maria in.
They give birth as late 1780s in Northfleet but I think this is assuming she was born there and subtracting 73 from 1861, no evidence as such.
Back to the name, I`ve scanned the names in the 19c and there are no Tittlebess, 2 Tattlebees (N. Essex) and a few dozen Tuttlebees (N. Essex). This all points to her being Tuttlebee, I`ll follow this up further.
I`ve seen James as being born in Cobham, Northfleet and Swanscombe, again needs checking.
Any luck with pic yet ? We`re not allowed to give contact details on this site but I`ll try another way then you could send a jpg. direct.
Regards
