Many thanks.
Her husband Jesse Pumphrey (1783-1866) was a millwright away working on the mills with one son. This Ann (nee Norman (Henry Dunton was her 1st husband )) was his second wife. His first wife was Ann Humphry (1783-1826).

My family goes back to William Marshall born 1764 or 65 near Snitterby. He died age 91 in 1856 near Snitterby and is said to have been blind. He was living with his daughter Elizabeth (1808-47) who married Richard Markham (1806-58).  William married Sarah Robinson (1769-1826). They moved around between Waddingham and Grimsby. He seems to have made money buying and selling mills. His son Andrew (1812-81) seems to be the one who took over the mills in Grimsby, and at probate had £15,000. The mills included Haven Mill, Crofts Mill and Victoria Mill in Grimsby.  His son John (1803-89) was a seed merchant and at probate had £400. Andrew's sons  John, Andrew T etc took over the mill etc. His son William R became a wealthy  merchant in timber etc in Grimsby and Scartho - at probate had £40,000.
William Marshall 1764 had a father William (1733-75) his will is available on line. His mother was Sarah Andrews (1733-1809) from Waddingham

We went to the family history centre today and looked at the original marriage record for Ducker/Valder in 1817. Elizabeth Ducker was a widow so her birth name probably was Elizabeth Wrench; she married John Ducker in 1810. He died in 1815.  They seemed to have had a daughter Charlotte in 1809!.. He was serving in the navy on the Royal Charlotte yacht.

Thanks. His daughter was Charlotte too. She was born in 1809 and they married in 1810! She was baptised a few days after the marriage. It seems strange for a 51 year old to marry a 21 year old, but if it is them, they had a baby girl.

Thanks. Elizabeth Wrench is a real possibility. Does it give their ages in 1810 please? John Ducker was in the Navy - a boatswain. They had three children Charlotte who disappears, John who died in 1814, and Abba-Sophia who disappears but who dies in 1868.
