1851 look up Matthews

[brixham]

Can anyone help with a 1851 look up as I went with Find My Past and the 1851 isn't on there !
Searching for ANN ( maybe MARY ANN) MATTHEWS born in WICKHAM HAMPSHIRE.
In 1861 she is 14 Bn 1847 and a nurse maid in Richmond.
In 1871 she is married to William Hedges and is 28 so Bn 1843.

So she could be Ann or Mary or Mary Ann Matthews Bn in 1843 or 1847 but I'm pretty sure about the birth place of Wickham !

Sorry if there are too many variables but she lies on the census throughout her life !

Thanks.

Hi

The 1851 does have an entry for a Mary Ann Matthews but b 1849 Brading parents Josiah & Mary

There is also a Mary A b Ashe living with Matthews grandparents but no parents in household

I think you need a copy of her marriage cert to establish her fathers name

I have just found an Anna Matthews b 1848 Wickham on the 1851 parents George & Louisa - she was an only child at that time

Wickham Forest
Mathews
George 25 Head Labourer b Surrey??
Louisa 25 Wife b Charlton Hants
Ann 3 Daughter b Wickham   Transcribed Anna buts looks like Ann to me on the image

Do you have the 1871 reference plus county as I can't find any entry with the profile above and the only 1881 Hedges I can find with a husband William was Elizabeth b Hampshire

Where did you get the info re: other christian name

Hi

Did you already have her parents names as George & Louisa?

[brixham]

Knew father was called George so there can't be that many others with all the right info so pretty sure that is her.
Thanks again all.
