Margaret Bedford

[Jane101]

Hi there,
would like to find Margaret Bedford in the 1841 & 1851 census. She was born in 1837 in Bedfordshire. She married John Turney around 1853 in Hertfordshire.

Thank you 

Tabitha

First lets get rid of one the "arounds"

Here is the marriage
Jul/Aug/Sp 1853
Berkhampstead
ref 3a 456
John Turney / Margaret Bedford on same page

Ha-ha, okay lizdb. Yep, that's their marriage record all right 

Does it say who their father's were?

[lizdb]

That is just the index - you need to purchase the cert of view a PR to see who her father was named as.

In 1861 census she gives her place of birth as Chesham, Bucks. Where did you get Bedfordshire from?

1861
Common Rd, Wigginton, Hertfordshire
John Turney 30 straw plaiter bn Wigginton Herts
Margaret 24 bn Chesham Bucks
Edey 6
George 3
James 1    all children bn Wiggington

I think I got it from ancestry.com? Or familysearch. I will try and give you a link...

[lizdb]

I see you've now altered your original  post to include the info I found - so the thread doesn't make a lot of sense to anyone reading it through now!!!!

So, you want me to change it back for you 

[Jane101]

So could you find a census for Margaret Bedford in the 1841 & 1851 census?

[lizdb]

No don't change it back - its of no great importance.

Kingston Bedford 48 cordwainer bn Chesham
Elizabeth wife 44 bn Scilly? Guernsey?
James 18

You mention using Ancestry - so surely you have census access yourself? Or are you just using the "free" parts?
