Hi Im new to the list but would like some help please if possible. My Ggrandmother has been one of my brickwalls for a while and wonder if anyone has her in their tree ?
Ann Blackley born in 1859 but unknown as to where,
married Joseph Gearing in 1878 in Eastbourne Sussex. When Joseph died she married Arthur Vine again in Eastbourne.
Ive tried various combinations of her surname but still cannot find her place of birth .
Any help with this would be wonderful

The 1881 census has her born Eastbourne Sussex

Hi
Do you have the marriage certificate for Ann and Joseph GEARING at all?
I ask because I can see a marriage for Joseph GEARING in Sussex 13th July 1878 St Anne's Church Lewes Sussex to a Mary BALDEY.
I realise that she appears in the Census as Ann... but might she have Mary Ann?
Cheers

How have I missed that 1881 errrrrrr
The other marriage found wasnt them but has links to mine,Joseph seemed a favourite name in the huge family but thank you .
The 1871 census as you say shows her as a servant in Friday Street and that is just around the corner from where we live now.The family havent moved far over the years have they !
Onwards and upwards !!
My grateful thanks to all who have helped
