Help finding my Fanny in Dorset, please?

[teaurn]

Dates and places of birth don't match but there is nothing else with Fanny and Ann together and I have tried all sorts of variations.

Hope it turns out to be something useful

I'm really disappointed.

Fanny Allfrey (Allbrey) was, indeed, born in Sussex (Brighton). Her father was Philip, so she can't be mine.

I know this is a difficult one, so your efforts are genuinely appreciated.

Hi Roger

Did you say you have Fanny's marriage cert of 1881? Was she only 15 when she married?

I can't find any trace of the family in 1871 - got to be a mistranscription of the name

I suppose it doesn't give the number they lived in South Street does it? I was going to do an address search to see if they were there in 1861 or 1871, but there are 182 houses in that street.

Nothing similar looking at 1871 an awful lot of Twine Spinners though (whatever they did)

Hi, Jan,

Yes, she was married at fifteen - norty girl!
There was no number given for South Street, unfortunately.

Well, try harder........!        

Sorry, Tea - couldn't resist!

I am waiting for sister Ellen's overdue birth certificate. There may be more information to come.

Thanks, everyone, for your interest and persistence.

Right. I have to go and spin some twine..........
