My 3x great grandmother was Frances Horlow according to a record I have found for her marriage to John Peach at St Alkmund's Derby on the 29th January 1828. She was his second wife, his first Lydia having died in October 1827. John was born and baptised in Kedleston and as a result all of his children were too so I have quite good records of them and him as I know he as a stockiner in 1820 and a lacemaker in 1830 before becoming an ag lab later. I have to assume he was in Kedleston from his first marriage in 1809 although the first address time this is confirmed is in 1841. Frances, on every census says she was born in Nottingham in 1801. This age is confirmed on her death certificate. That is all I know of her. I can't find any Horlows in the Midlands area so I suspect is should be Harlow but I can't find any Nottingham Harlows either. I have looked for male siblings in the 1841 and 1851 censuses but can't find any that were born in Nottingham. There are quite a few Derby Harlows but none with a Nottingham connection. Tantalisingly I find one Harlow family in 1841 living quite close to a Peach family in Little Chester but I don't have this Peach family in my tree and there are quite a few unconnected branches of them in Derby. I did wonder if she had been married before as she would have been about 27 when she married John but the only two Harlow marriages I can find between 1820 and 1828 are not likely candidates. Has anybody any ideas of where I can look?. If anyone has access to the St Alkmund's records that might help, but I live in Devon so that won't happen anytime soon. I would love to know who the witnesses were and why they married there when all other things happened at Kedleston. Happy new year to all.
