Parents of Martha Mitchell 1815-1894
« on: Tuesday 03 September 24 13:50 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help me find the parents of Martha Michell? According to the 1841-91 censuses she was born in South Shields, Durham in 1815, possibly 1821. She married William Frederick Windus in West Hackney, London 9 Nov 1833, and Henry Fromm in Gravesend,  Kent 22 Dec 1855. Parents possibly George and Elizabeth, but I'm struggling to find matches. Any details of parents, their marriage and their birth details greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

If she married Windus in 1833 she could not have been born as late as 1821.  If born 1815 she would have been 18 when she married

She is shown as the wife of Henry Fromm in 1851

Son William Frederick Windus b 1836 died 1853

At the 1818 baptism there is a son James baptised the same day. All other details as Martha.
