Martha Richardson

[Rados]

Hi all,

I have a marrage between a martha Richardson c1809 and a Edward Brooks on 25th April 1830 in Derby.
Can anyone tell me how I find out what Martha's parents may have been called.

Hi Rados

Have you found Edward & Martha in any of the censuses?   Where does she give her birthplace?

Carol

I have her born in Duffield, Derbyshire  abt 1811

Looking on the 1841 census it has her place of birth as Milford, derbyshire.
She died in oct 1841, so this is all I have.

Hi,

Place of birth is not given in 1841 Census.

Martha is living in Milford, Parish of Duffield and states she was born in Derbyshire.

They were living in a Cottage belonging to the Strutt Family, and as a Dyer Edward would
be working at the Strutt's Cotton Factory at Milford.

All their children were Bpt in Duffield, which was the nearest C of E church.

By the 1851 Census Edward has remarried and gives his place of birth as Middleton by Wirksworth.
