I see Phyllis was born in 1775 in Lynn to John and Catherine Breason. She is on the 1851 census in Bradenham saying she was born c1774 in Old Lynn. Phyllis died in 1853. Buried in January that year.

Her GRO death is Phillis Reeve, registered in the Swaffham district in the Mar quarter 1853, Vol 4b, Page 311. The GRO online website now has downloadable deaths from 1837 to 1957, for £2:50 per cert. This will give more info, such as her death date and hopefully it will say "widow of Anthony Reeve" followed by his occupation. However I have an 1841 death cert for an ancestor which just says "widow".

I do notice that Anthony's son Anthony Reeve Jnr baptised in 1816 in East Bradenham says his father Anthony Snr was a labourer.
