Hi thanks for the info it will take me some time to look thro it

on one it says daughter b 1844 but mercy blakeman was born in 1844 to henry blakeman and sarah law so is that the wrong family

is there a census with mercy blakeman on with her parents

She's here in 1851 with her Mum and stepfather:

And here in 1871 with her Mum, Sarah (who remarried again):

thanks why is her name broadhurst when it should be blakeman

was it just blakeman and broadhurst she married will have to send for certs

blakeman died in 1847 and she married in 1847
