I can't find where she was married yet, but it doesn't appear to be in Croydon, where she lived from at least 1841. It isn't helped that her husband James also has several different birth places according to censuses. these include Bromley Kent, Malding in Surrey and Dudley Oxfordshire. I thought that the last one seemed hopeful but I can't see that Dudley would ever have been in Oxfordshire - isn't it too far north?

Where was she married? It would most likely be close to where she was born, of not the same place.

Yes Mike that's her. I forgot the Sunbely birth place. Can't find that place either!

Hi

My relative, Jane Wesson, is on 1891 census as Jane Weston, living in Croydon but as being born in 1818 Swartley (Ancestry) or Swantley (FMP), both in Oxfordshire. I can't find either of those places on a map, and don't know the area at all. Any suggestions please for where she might have been born?

Other censuses show her as being born in Warwickshire, Malden in Surrey, Mitcham in Surrey, so I really have no idea.

Thanks in advance
Sue
