Title: Frances Lushea
Post by: Lgugg on Saturday 12 October 24 17:13 BST (UK)
Hi, I've been looking into my ancestor Frances Lushea born in 1759 in North Walsham, Norfolk. She is the daughter of John Lushea and Elizabeth Burroughs and I'm trying to look into her fathers side because the surname seems unusual and I can't seem to find much information about it. I found a John Loussea born in 1719 in Hemsby but I'm not sure if thats right. Can someone help me find more information about John Lushea?
Thank you  :)!

They married by license, it can be viewed on FindMyPast.

The other guarantor was John Crow of Witton, both men are Husbandman.

Do you know of any connection?

Thank you! I think I've got a scan of the record on ancestry from a member tree. But I'm not aware of a connection to a John Crow. I'll try and find out more about him to see if that will help.

Elizabeth Burrows bap. 18 December 1726 daughter of Robert and Ann at Worsted.

Ann is the name of the eldest daughter as well.

John Crow widower married Ann Lusher single woman 15 June 1744

Archdeacons Transcripts for Witton near North Walsham.

So John Crow appears to be John Lusher's brother in law.
