Parents of Rebecca Smith
« on: Saturday 10 May 25 18:04 BST (UK) »
Rebecca Smith is Great Grandmother of my Husband. She was born in 1821 in Saffron Walden married to Henry Wedlock in 1848. Again I had carried on with one person that appeared as her Father but then when a comment came up on Ancestry about this person, I looked again and realised that all the information for Rebecca was under Coggershall and not Saffron Walden, so had to remove all existing details for her except her marriage and children with Henry. So I think her Parents are James 1800 and Sarah but not sure as nothing much comes up for her now so any help greatly received.

What is her father name & occupation on her 1848 marriage cert.  Transcription on Ancestry shows date as 20.12.48 but no father shown for her which suggests she may have been illegitimate

The Coggleshall Rebecca Smith died 1845
