Yes Rebecca woould be the oldest, born around 1830. Had a problem with getting marriage certificate from TNA unfortunately.

I have visited the actual farm location, it is now a residential house on a large plot of land. I only live 5 minutes drive from the location.

Looking for information about my ancestor Thomas Key who was a farmer near Pentrich in the late 1800's I have all the census details back to 1841, but then stumped. Lots of different Keys in this area at this time, many dead ends.

Hi,

Thomas Key = Hannah Lynam 18th November 1827 at Duffield Parish Church.

As this marriage was prior to Civil Registration 1837, you would not be able to get a marriage
certificate from TNA.  You have to look for Church Records.

Their first child Rebecca was christened at Heage 23rd August 1829.

Thanks, not heard from you in a while. I have since scoured cemeteries in the area and found little to go on, most disappointing was codnor cemetery as it has been left to ruin.
