Hi - I'm trying to find birth details for Lucy. She married David Thomas STUNT in Hove in 1879 and 1881 Census shows her age as 38, born in Brighton. However, I can find no record of her birth c1843 or for several years either side of that date. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated Thank you. Jean, NZ

Census data sent off line Hi Jean from across the pond. I have found her on the 1871 census as a servant. No sign of her on the 1861 but shall keep looking. 1851 there is a Lucy Blackman born 1843 Brighton. Methinks she might have married Messley - been widowed and remarried hence not being able to find her birth. So go to freebmd and find the birth, find a marriage between blackman and messley, the death of her husband and that will more or less prove my theory. Hope this helps. Still having a hunt Cheers Pam from Adelaide Australia > Hi - I'm trying to find birth details for Lucy.
