Find Ancestors

Narcissa Bracher or Bracker was born in about 1806, probably in Stourton, but I have been unable to find the registration of her birth or her parents names. I know she married my ggg g/f Thomas Bishop although I have found no record of their marriage either. They lived in Kilmington, Somerset and had approx. 8 children (including my gg g/f Alfred Bishop, who was baptised in 1832). I have found them on the 1841 census, but If anyone has any information about her early years I should be most grateful.

Can you tell where you got the name Bracker from as it doesnt seem to turn up as family name ?

Hi Lindsey
I got the surname Bracker as it was given as her maiden name on her son Henry's Birth Cert. 16 Aug. 1837.

Hi Barbara
Thanks for the info from the 1851 census.

Bear in mind that the 1851 looks to be wrongly transcribed on her age - they have her as 66 - It looks like 46 to me.

The Igi references are submitted and not extracted .

Yes we did all this the other night but it doesnt find her before marriage!

I think it calls for somerset records

I agree Dea, 46 seems more plausible for her age.

Yes thanks, that looks like her again in 1861.

All this is on Kim Lunts tree on ancestry

Lindsey,

Do you mean that all this has been done already and we are all wasting our time?

I did not know this had all been done before for someone else! Sorry if you feel Ive been wasting your time.

Hi Melanie. Who is Gill please, so that I can get in touch and have a look at her tree?

Ok thank you Melanie.

Lindsey seems to know about an Ancestry tree which you might also look at.

Hope you find the info you need.

I have nudged it to the top of surnames board so you can speak to each other

Thanks Lindsey, we can pool resources now.
