Kent Completed Lookup Requests / Lydia Shorter nee ?
« on: Thursday 03 August 06 13:05 BST (UK) »
I would like to find the maiden name of Lydia Shorter born circa 1802 in Chatham, died Milton 1860. She married William Shorter from Strood and the couple began baptizing children there between 1829-1835. Their two eldest children baptized in 1832 were late baptisms. Both born Strood, Eliza Susan Shorter was born in 1825 and her sister Emma Ann Shorter on 7th June 1822.
The IGI gives three potential Lydias baptized in Chatham circa 1802 - Lydia Lash, Hobart or Acton.
I can see no potential marriages for a Lydia with a William Shorter on the IGI, Pallots or the BVRI which are the indexes I have access to.
The couple did continue to have children after the start of the civil registration, so I can find out Lydia's maiden name from one of their children's birth certificates, but if possible I would rather like to know the date and place of their marriage as well.
Regards
Valda
