Hello all
can anyone help me find info on this woman preceding her marriage in 1852?
Birthplace & parents etc.
I could not find her in 1851.
She appears with husband George Stanard West in 1861,
from which I could get an age and birth county.
However, she is listed there as Mary 'A' West.
I am working on a theory that she could be a Burden, not a Burton.

Hah, that takes this project into a totally new direction.
I have a string of DNA relatives whose attachment point to my tree is not known.
They have a branch that goes back to Warwickshire, and I think some of them said Birmingham. Sorry I don't have the details at hand.
Their surname Hemming, and they lived there in the early 1800s.
I will check my notes later for clarification.
