I've found a marriage for her in 1823 - and am fairly convinced its the right one. BUT, I can find only a christening in 1810 - could she have married at about the age of 13? Her siblings seem to have different dates for their christenings - so I dont think it was a 'job lot'! I've found a birth/christening for her spouse in 1800 - which would be about right but am concerned re her age. can anyone help? Thanks Rosi |

Hi Rosi One of my ancestors was christened at the age of 14, whilst all her siblings were baptised as babies. So, you can never be sure !! Suzanne Orpington Kent |
