1844 Little Clacton Marriage Please

[Alan b]

I have a Daniel Luff who married in the December quarter of 1844. The FreeBMD entry shows the district to be Tendering and as Daniel was living in Little Clacton in 1841 I assume he married there as well.

I do have Daniel on all the census and it shows that this was a short lived marriage as he married again in 1851 (as a widower) in Hackney so his first wife must have passed away.

were there any children of that first marriage?

If his wife had died by the time of the 1851 census, a childs Birth Papers would show the mother's maiden name - hopefully a match to one of the female names shown in the FreeBMD entry?

or alternatively search for deaths 1845 - 1850 of a Luff with one of those forenames in Shoreditch ?

There was a William Luff born in 1845 in Great Clacton and an Ann Elizabeth Luff born in Shoreditch in 1847 according to the 1851 census.

There is a Mary Ann Luff who died in Shoreditch in 1845 and although that would tie in with Mary Ann Brooks from the list it would with regards to the first child being born in Essex but FreeBMD doesn't show a William being born in 1845 in the Clacton area so I am leaning towards Mary Ann Brooks.

[Mort29]

Maybe this lass then? (despite forename reversal, not many Luffs around ... ) she'd be 4 in the census

That is probably her I would have thought.

[Mort29]

Indeed.

So to clear up my thinking if anyone is reading this who is visiting the Essex records office could they please look up the marriage details as per the first post, thanks in advance to anyone that can.
