Could any kind lister please look up Anne WILLMORE born 1837 in Newbold on the 1851 and/or 1861 census, please? I am guessing that she will be with her family in 1851, but I am very interested in where she was and what she was doing in 1861. Two years later she married Joseph Groves Orton, from Nuneaton, in Mile End London - assuming they knew each other in Warwick and intended to marry when he had settled in London (he had been a ribbon weaver and the industry was declining by then, so no great surprises there) BUT in the meantime he had had a child by an Edith Rogers who claimed to be Mrs Orton when registering the birth of their son. Any information to help unscramble this puzzle would be very much appreciated! TIA Jill
