Hi LizzieL
"Perhaps your lady from Nun Monkton was a servant who travelled with the family she was employed by. Many kept a set of servants in each house, but valets, ladies' maids, nurses and governesses would frequently travel with the family."A very likely scenario that.
I was pretty lucky with my Yorkshire lass ancestor, apart from all the usual marriage and burial checks in Yorkshire and Essex which panned out well some other details helped.
Susanna had a mother and sister named Elizabeth, when Susanna Sturdy married William Adams a witness to the marriage was an Elizabeth Sturdy, whether that witness was her sister or mother is an unknown.
Additionally Susanna had a brother and father named Oswald and as I've mentioned in this topic William and Susanna were the first of my Adams families to use the name Oswald.
I guess I'm entitled to get lucky with my ancestors occasionally.
