Hi Flosse,
Thanks for looking.
It could very likely be them.Is Hannah Keen their daughter?

No probs.

Hannah is also about 25 so she could be a relation of some sort.  My suspicion is that she was probably a domestic servant of some sort.

Meant to say that I got the ages for Priscilla and david mixed up - Sorry

Priscilla was 26 and David 24!

Just a thought - Lenny Henry (husband of Dawn French) attended Bluecoat School himself.  Perhaps this is where she took the inspiration for the name 'Dibley' in her series..... ??

And meant to say 'John' not David.
 

Gosh.  It's Fiday.  Can you tell?

Hi Flosse,
 now there's a thought! The original source for the vicar of Dibley
As soon as I sent that message about Hannah being their daughter I realised she couldn't have been.It's Friday the 13th.It's mashing my brain cells.
Many thanks,
Trisha.

Hi Trisha
Sorry if I am going over what you already have but I was looking at this family and got carried away.
There are some very mixed up family trees with Priscilla born 1842 (daughter) on them.

PRISCILLA married Stephen S PEACH, September 1866, Lambeth, 1d 640.
She appears on 1871 with her parents, married, wife of an engineer, with son aged 3.
No family tree has his name that I have found.

ELLEN married John Horace GREEN, March 1873, London City, 1c 67

ANNE MARIA married John Thomas BROWNING, widower, March 1878, Colchester, 4a 366
One tree has him arriving Sydney, Aust. 1875. Dont know how as he married 1879 and appears on 1881 Census with her .
She is alone in 1891 with children, mar, instructor in music and has 3 of her sister Ellens children with her.
1901 she is still alone ( under Brawning) and down as mar.

I am posting all this as hopefully other people researching might not copy the mistakes on some trees and find this by 'googling'
One Tree has John Dibley born USA

It is quite possible Annies husband did desert her and remarried in Australia;
John T BROWNING married Beatrice E J MacCLEAN. 1886 , Sydney, Aust.

Cheers,
Trish
