Dear Geoffe, Brilliant ; :)brilliant :)brilliant
Thats her, everything fits, all ages, Thomas's job, the address, widow. All tallies with her death cert. in 1862 and the 51 and 71 censuses.
I have been stuck with this query about Abbey for six years but now I can go through the OPRs and non-conformists etc. again knowing I am in the right parish.
So many thanks to you and to Roots and also to Emms who put out a list of seamen on benefit in the 1822 Cumb. Packet where I found Thomas Baylis the grandfather of the one in 1861 census.
That's a lesson for me - I should have searched through the whole 1861 census.
Thanks again Alan Williams.
