Hello Chooch and Larkspur.

That is right Fanny Linsey was born 1861 and married Edward Dove in 1882. This Fanny Linsey was the daughter of George Linsey 1832 and Mary Ann Isaac 1834. George Linsey 1832 being the son of William Linsey 1809 and Fanny Scaith 1804. Fanny Linsey 1861 was the older sister of my great grandfather Joseph Lindsey (note spelling of name changed here) born 8 Feb 1877 in Osbournby.
Hope this clears up any confusion.

Yes please. Where did you find this, parish records from personal searches or Lincs to the Past. I look on lincs to the past but find it difficult to search.

I am going to send for Sarah's death cert and see if that helps. At first I thought she had to be the mother but parents do seem most likely Edward Lindsey and Hannah Ellis. Perhaps a spinster aunt!??

William Linsey and Fanny Skaith. William son of Edward Linsey and Hannah Ellis and Fanny daughter of Thomas Skaith and Frances Bee.

Thank you all for your help.
