Hi Listers, I have been looking at the baptism of Deborah Whittingham JAY on 4th. May 1794 at Hanham, Gloucestershire. Mother was Mary, but no father was recorded. I am wondering if this was the Deborah JAY who married William BRIGHT on 5th. September 1809 at the church of St. Philip & Jacob, Bristol. Tracking Deborah BRIGHT, I note that, in the 1851 Oldland census, she was a widow, aged 63, who was formerly a gardenwoman. Piece 1944 Folio 0455 Schedule 099 Living in her household at Mount Hill were sons, Samuel, 28, and George, 23, and grandson, William, 10. All were born in Bitton, GLS. Can anyone tell me if Deborah BRIGHT was a widow at the time of the 1841 census and also the 1841 census reference of her household, please? Josephine
