Hi,

I don't if this is a match or not.

In my wife's family there is an Ester (sometimes Easter) Downes born in 1851 (Culmington) who married Thomas Gough from Diddlebury - pretty close to Munslow - in Sheffield, Yorkshire!

Her father was Henry Downes.

Unfortunately, all we have is the information from her marriage certificate.

Good luck,

Nigel & Susan
