Hi Peter Thanks, I did have a note of this possible death registration. I guess it may give a clue, but unlikely to provide anything that might help track down Hannah's surname. Regards Jon Jon, There is one death on FreeBMD that is for a Hannah Winter in the right area as follows:   Surname First name(s) Age District Vol Page  Deaths Jun 1841   (99%) WINTER  Hannah    Bethnal Gn 2 7   Regards, Peter   On 05 December 2010 at 12:54 Jon Baker <baker.jon@sky.com> wrote: > After many years of family history research and following most of my lines, > I realise that I have hit a brick wall on one of my paternal fathers lines > with my 3*Great Grandparents, James WINTER and his wife Hannah. > > My Gt Gt Grandmother was Rosetta Sarah WINTER who married William John BAKER > in All Saints, Poplar on Christmas Day 1849.
