marriage of Richard COURT ~ 1838
« on: Wednesday 03 December 08 16:27 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to find the maiden name of Ann, who married my relative Richard COURT. Richard was born around 1811 in Over Stowey, Somerset. In the 1841 census he is already married to Ann, and they have 2 children George 2 & John 1, born in Burnham & baptised 3 Mar 1839 & 7 Jun 1840.  I suspect that Richard & Ann married around 1838 therefore.  I can't find their marriage in either freeBMD or freeReg.  I find one marriage of a Richard Court to an Ann in Ledbury vol 26 p 284, but I don't think this is them because I think this is too far away.

In the 1841 census Ann is given as 30, born in 1811.
In the 1851 census she is 43, born in 1808 in Mark Somerset.
She is buried 11 March 1854, age given as 36 (born 1818), in Highbridge Burnham Somerset (BMD Axbridge 5c 443).

Thank you

Charles Beacham

Hi

As both children were born after 1837, a copy of one of their birth certs will give her maiden name
