After many years Ancestry added the original parish record of a marriage in 1822 which revealed that the bride was a widow.  I had never been able to find her before.  Fate then took a hand - she had signed with her maiden name, crossed it out and gave her married surname. After much help from the on-line community I managed to track down her birth and her ancestors.
