I am trying to trace what happened to my relative Lucy Goodacre b 1809 Sawston, Cambridgeshire.

I have been able to trace her upto the 1841 census but then she disappears. I have been unable to locate any marriage or death records from 1841 onwards but have found an entry on the 1861 census records at Fulborn hospital.
The entry is entered as LG and dob 1923 b lawston(which I believe should be Sawaston as the 'S' has been misread as an 'L'). Again there is a entry on the 1871 census listed as LG dob 1923 this time birth place is Man Yeniden ( again beleive this should be Manuden which is also the area Lucy was born in and registered on her brothers birth cert). Although the date of birth is incorrect I do feel this could be her.

I would be grateful if any one has access to the hostpital admission records as would be interested to know why she was there! Also if any death records are held for the hospital as she no longer appears after the 1871 census.

Apprieciate any help that could be given.

Thank you

Hi David,

Many thanks for looking, I also had found the marriage entry in 1854 and hoped that information from the census would confirm it.. oh well. Haven't got the death certificate so looks like that will be the next step.

I had a look at the CFHS site and see the wife and daughter, v strong possibility it is his first wife as on the details of the census 1851 he is stated as widowed so would fit in. Another avenue to explore so thanks for the lead!

I'd be grateful if you could provide the full details of the 1841 and 1851 census for me.  Also could you check for Isaac parents and family if not to much trouble?

They are: 

Edward 1774
Hannah 1771
John 1796
Lucy 1809

Many thanks

Sarah
