Hi there David,
Yes Helen married in 1828 in Melbourn to Alfred Coningsby and Margaret appears visting them on the 1861 census, thats how I knew where she was born.
I had a look at the CFHS site and that could be the parents of Helen but the Stapleford Marriage record for 1795 has Richard Redman and Margaret Humphrey and lists Margaret as being 'of Granchester' I can understand the ease distancewise of Granchester to Stapleford (I grew up nearby) but I'm still puzzling over the inclusion of the Woodard in Helen's name if her mothers maiden name was Humphrey...
It is possible that Helen was missed or maybe baptised elsewhere, though if it is the right family they didn't seem to move to far out of the county at all : Grancester to Stapleford, Stapleford to Chesterton, Chesterton to Melbourn.
Thanks for your help.
