Find Ancestors

I am really new to this but wonder if anyone can help please.

I am trying to trace Sussanah (sometimes seen as Sushanna)Elizabeth Carter born 1861 (do not know where) but was married to Arthur John Leswell in Maldon in Essex in 1884

Trying several geneology sites we are still unable to trace her birth which seems unusual.

look forward to hearing from you
Margaret
