1841 / 1851 ~ Look-up please ~ Amy JAY

[Lucy2]

Hello

Can anyone help, please ?   

And sorry, I'm having to employ some guesswork re: year/place of birth.

Seeking:

Amy JAY  --  Widow --  possibly in Battersea / Wandsworth areas.

Born between 1780 - 1788 ?

Birthplace :    Suffolk ?

[What is known:   Lucy JAY (3xg/gm) born 1805 Halesworth, Suffolk - baptised 1808 at Battersea - d/o Robert and Amy JAY.    Robert JAY - yeoman (farmer) of Battersea - d. 1840 - wife Amy, sole beneficiary of his will.]
Possible death of Amy JAY - 1859 - reg'd. Wandsworth ?

Many thanks.

Have a feeling I've posted this census info before as I remember the Pew Opener occupation and queried at the time as to what it was.

EDIT
Yes, it was when I posted the census info for John and Lucy last year for you Lu.

WOW .... Ian !!

You're an absolute CHAMPION !!!   

Thank you so much.    

Yes ... you'd also found the AMBROSE (1841 - 1871) family (of "pew openers" ) for me earlier.   

[Had only just discovered, and downloaded the will of Robert JAY, confirming Amy as his widow, but figured she might be living independently of the Ambrose family.]

AND   ... extra special thanks for the marriage info for Lucy and her sister Sally.       I didn't have either of those.

Your efforts are very much appreciated.

Many thanks again.

Thanks.
