Could some one please check for a Susanna Barber with a sister Hannah, Father an inkeeper? I found her Married in 1861 Census but am unable to locate her prior to 1861.Thanks for considering my request.

I'm having to 'guess' since you really don't supply information information to work from, that this maybe Sussanna Barber who married Richard Perrett in Tisbury registration district in 1860? 1861 census a Richard Perrett and Susana his wife are in Hindon. She is aged 29 and born Frome.

Working from that hypothesis this is a possible for a census entry for 1851 but the 1841 census shows another Susan Barber of the same age in Frome - no sister Hannah and father not an innkeeper so without further details on Susanna and her family it is very difficult to search.

Thank-you, Valda. Yes, Susanna married Richard Perrett in Hindon, 1860. I am stuck on this one. The 1861 Census lists her PL. of Birth as Frome. We found one-- Susanna in Keinton Mandeville - 1851 Census; Fa:John- innkeeper, Sister: Hannah- dressmaker; Susanna - barmaid; We know from a document we received that she had a sister-but not her name. Add the one you mentioned; Plus one Susannah as visitor in  Shropshire;  Plus the Henry/Sophia family but we are not convinced that is the correct family. Richard became a maltster/innkeeper/storekeeper in later years, so I was hoping to get a bit more info prior to sending for a cert.

Susanna Barber in Keinton Mandeville (registration district Langport) in 1851 gives her birthplace as Butleigh in Somerset and her age as 19.
It makes her a possible candidate for this marriage as the only Susan(anna) Barber of marriageable age in Somerset on the 1851 census and more exactly the only one in Langport registration district

Marriages Mar 1852   
Barber  Susan    Langport  5c 693   
Humphries  Samuel     Langport  5c 693

The only two names of FreeBMD so other names missing from the index.

Susannah the wife of Richard gives her age as 32 and her birthplace as Frome on the 1861. Her age despite the changes in birthplace which become more general, but then on later censuses she isn't the one supplying the information, stays consistent.

Deaths Jun 1891   
PERRETT  Susan  62  Devizes  5a 67

I can't see on the 1851 census your other Susanna Barber candidate in Shropshire, but you really need the details from the marriage certificate to confirm the details of your Susanna's father. At this point I can only see the one Susanna Barber born Frome circa 1828/9 details already given - baptism, 1841 and 1851 censuses, the daughter of Henry and Sophia.

Thank-you for your assistance, Valda. I have Susan[na]'s death cert. and the one you cited is the correct one. We didn't believe she belonged to the Henry/Sophia family, but since the other Susanna married another, I will take a chance and order the M. Cert. Thanks again.
