Can Someone look for Leah Nelson 35 please as it is possible that William was already deceased by 1841?
Many thanks
Sue

Hi

I'm doing a bit of housekeeping and wondering whether you're still looking for this information or found in the meantime?  If you're still looking, do you have any further information that might help locate it?

If I don't hear from you in a while I'll move this to 'Completed' assuming the information is no longer required.

Regards
Biker

I am still looking for this info.
Leah and William were married in Hoggeston Bucks 2 Aug 1827. William is described as 'of Christchurch'.
By 1851 Leah is a widow and living in Somerstown.
Their eldest child William Wells Nelson was born Nov 1828 in Christchurch Greyfriars Newgate area. He died age 4.
There seems to be only one other child Jennett Ann Nelson born 1830. She married young in 1849 and her father William was desceased by then. They seem to be fairly well off and I wonder whether William was much older than Leah but that is pure conjecture.

Hi Sue,
           I checked the London 1841 index for your Nelson family, none listed.
