Find Ancestors

Hi everyone. I have been trying to trace my 2nd x grt gran Felisha Scard Henwood for years and have now found out that her husbands surname was Duck. I was always told that it was Andrews. So was always trying to find a marriage between a Felicia and an Andrews) Having now found out that Samuel Duck died in 1854 and she then took up with a George Andrews and gave herself and her children the surname Andrews. (No issue with Andrews) it makes sense. Hopefully this may shed some light for anybody else researching this family. Now I need to order the marriage certificate (1847 vol 11 pg 29) to find the names of their fathers unless there is anybody out there who has come across this before? Again, hopefully this info might help. I never thought I would find Felicia (Felisha?) :-)

Thank you all so much. I had an idea that Felisha's father was Thomas. Interesting as well in that the witnesses at the wedding were Felisha s sister Louisa who married William Bladwell. I will now be inputting all info and see where it leads me. So exciting . Thanks all again. :-D <3

The mother is Alice and there's no fathers name on both baptisms.

I think the name of the father could have been made up as the baptisms show.

By their middle names it seems like that could have been the fathers surname but I can find no person by the name of Thomas Scard who would fit.

Can anyone find Alice past the 1841 census?

Hi. This is what I have found as well. Mother named as Alice but no father named. Both Felisha and Louisa have the middle names of Scard. This is going to be a mystery to unravel. Exciting. :-)

Edits (now not sure why I was looking for a Thomas Scard, lol, seeing things I think!)

Hi. Thanks for the info. I have this record attached to Felicia but was wondering if it read nurse and not neice? I know she was a nurse throughout her life. I couldn't quite understand how she could be the neice of the head because of the age difference and surname. It could just be me not thinking straight. I will keep on plodding. :-S

It says niece under relation to the head of the house and nurse as occupation.
