can't find death or marriage for Rosanna Bird so am now completely baffled!

[jackski]

Checking on GRO I find 4 Bird children born with MMN Bull

1861 Rachael Martha 31/08/1861, baptised
1866  Rosanna  Martha 29/11/1863 baptised
Rose baptised 1871 along with Louisa Duffield

Not sure about these but have MMN Bull
1864 Edwin Frederick
1867 Alfred William

Parents didn't marry till they were of full age in 1863 either - so they had at least three children before marrying.

A copy of the will might help. I have only had to send for one will and that had several notes added re tracing people if I recall.

Just looked up the two boys and they are from a  different family - parents Charles and Mary.

I've looked for a death for Rosanna but can't find one, so assume she must have married. But no matter where I look, or how hard I try, I just can't seem to find her at all.

This won't find her but Chester and Emily seem to be brother and sister

I missed the third sets of banns as ancestry has him transcribed as BERD. I think she is Lavinia? Chester didn't hang about did he?
