I have hit one of the legendary brick walls. I hope there is someone who can help me through over or under it?
Susannah, wife of George Euston, died 1889 in Stow Regn District, probably in Buxhall. I think she had four children by George - Ernest 1880-1960. Ellen 1882--1889, Kate 1887-, and Arthur 1888-1889.
George was born 1858 in Buxhall, and after Susannah's death he married Kate Bradley of Gt Finborough in 1894. Kate and George had Sidney Frank 1894-1975,Wilfred James 1897-1917, Minnie 1899, Rose Ellen 1901, Cecil George 1904, John William 1906.
So far so correct I hope. But who was Susannah? 1881 census shows her age 22 born in Buxhall.
My brick wall then is Susannah - any help on her maiden name would be very much appreciated.

If you look up any of her children's births on freebmd then use that info on GRO online to find her maiden name you will find it was PEARL
If you already have a login to GRO - that's what you use. If not - you need to register which is free

Looking at her death reg - looks like she died in childbirth - death also of Arthur John Euston
freebmd has a birth for Susannah Pearl Sept qtr 1860 but can't see any marriage
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2NZQ-DY2 - her mothers maiden name was Edwards
See freebmd - parents Robert & Elizabeth married Dec qtr 1856 Cosford
1861 census

Many thanks to you both. I have not only demolished a wall, I have learnt how it was done. A sort of 2 for the price of one.
Again, many thanks.
