I think if a daughter returned home and resumed the family name then she may well have never been married at all.

Hi I am trying to find anything about Joseph Breckon born Poplar 1822, my gt gt grandfather, prior to his marriage. He married Margaret Heckler from East Barnby, Whitby, North Yorkshire in 1849 and they had two children Alice and Charles Joseph. All though there were a number of Breckons lived in the Whitby area at the time I cannot find a connection and Joseph is listed on successive census returns as coming from Poplar Middlesex. He died in Whitby in 1890. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately I have no knowledge at all of the parentage of Joseph apart from his marriage cert which lists his father as James a deceased clerk.

As we know for certain through marriage certs that his wife was Margaret and when she died the younger children were brought up by a family member. I shall have to investigate it further.

A lady researching ''Breckon'' tried to help me but we got nowhere.

I have been through christenings for All Saints Poplar but not found anything there.
