Maria Cotterell

[jo_46]

I was wondering if anyone can find Maria Cotterell on the 1841 or 1851 censuses.
She was born in Ledbury c 1837 and I would like to find out the names of her parents and siblings. She was my gt gt grandmother on my father's side.
Many thanks

Lol well I knew there was some illigitimacy in the family but my paternal ancestors seem to of made quite a habit of it  .  Whilst researching my paternal grandfather I have come to the conclusion that he might have also been illigitimate too! 
Thank you for this information as it has given me lots to think about.
