I have found Susan on the 1851 census
after that, i cant find her on the rest of the census returns for England,also i have been unable to find a re-marriage,nor a death entry for England.
Susans eldest son William appears on the 1871 census for Great Yarmouth,but
no sign of Susan.

Geoff what other details do you know, dont forget we know nothing of her at all! Do you know when she was born and where?

Well spotted Michael.

I wonder if he is William H?

This would match with birth place of Kingston from 1851 census

The marriage on BVRI:

VEARNCOMBE, William Henry Age: 26 Marriage
Wife: Susan Hatch BARBER Age: 24
Marriage Date: 28 Mar 1872 Recorded in: Yarmouth, Norfolk, England
Collection: St Nicholas
Husband's Father: William Henry VEARNCOMBE
Wife's Father: Samuel BARBER
Source: FHL Film 1526458 Dates: 1869 - 1875

Problem here is that it rules out Susan Vearncombe on the 1871 census. She was still Susan Barber.

None of which helps me find Elizabeth in 1861

This seems to be the Susan Hatch Barber who married William Henry Vearncombe the following year. Am I on the wrong track?

1871 census
Gates Lane, Gorleston, Suffolk
Samuel Barber, head, 65, fireman
Maria, wife, 56
*Susan H., dau, 23
Arthur, son, 18, fireman
Frederick, grandson, 6, scholar
Sarah, niece, 16
Plus an apprentice and a lodger.
All born Norfolk, Yarmouth except grandson Frederick born Gorleston.

J E Reindorp is shown as a widower in 1871 but there is a death for Emily Reindorp in 1863

Deaths Sep 1854 (>99%)
Verancombe Susannah
Wandsworth 1d 672

So is she Susan or Susannah?

Deaths Jun 1857 (>99%)
VEARNCOMBE Susan Matilda Bridgwater 5c 275

OK, I see where my confusion arises.
The widow Susan Vearnconton on the 51 census has a 4 yr old son William and it's him that married Susan Hatch Barber.
Am I right?

That matches the 1881 census. William H. was born 1847, London (same as Susan Vearnconton's son) and Susan born 1849, Yarmouth. Son William was born 1874 Gorleston, Suffolk, where Susan was from.

Just had a pm from Geoffrey
Hi Keith
Susan was baptised on the 25th dec 1812
at uffculme

having re checked the 1812
baptism,Susan was baptised
Susannah,she was married as
Susan Biss,and on the birth certs for her two sons she registers the name Susan

Geoffrey

I'm sure that the people who have added so much to this thread would be interested to hear from you whether it is pertinent.

Reg

thanks to everyone that gave info on my query im almost sure
susan is the one that died in Wandsworth,ive ordered the death cert and will let it be known
the result
Geoff

margeret,susan was the one on the 51 census that was married to the William Vearncombe who died in 1850 and her son William Henry the one who who married Susan Hatch Barber in yarmouth 1872
Geoff

Just recieved the death cert for Susannah Verancombe who died in 1854 at Battersea and its the right one,she is described as a widow of William Verancombe a butler,so once again thanks to everone who helped me with this.
