I'm wondering if the above Ruth nee Hicks is the daughter of Daniel Hicks as on the 1851 census Ruth has a sister called Pamela.

The bpt. of William & Ruth PERROTT's daughter Lelia her middle name is Pamela

[Ladyhawk]

I definitely have my Ruth in 1841 and 1851 census with parents.

There is a possibly in 1861, as a servant at the vicarage, but that could be the other Ruth.

Not found this Ruth Hicks on 1871 census  so the question is has she married?

She can't be the Ruth Hicks that married in Australia as the marriage was in 1857
and if the
Ruth Hicks that married William Perrott in 1863 - a shame the marriage is not viewable on line to confirm if her father's name was Daniel.

A very strong possibility the above Ruth might be yours.

I’ve ordered the 1863 marriage certificate to rule in or out.

I have wondered about Ruth who is the domestic servant in 1861 - but if this is her, what happened to her afterwards?

For the marriages in Gower, I’ve found Edward together with Ruth, but in 1871 her place of birth is in Wales, so she’s ruled out.

You can also rule out this marriage in St Column Cornwall 8 Jun 1870

It's a shame the 1865 marriage in Poplar to George Harding is not available to view on line (reply 13)
