Hope you find the info you need.

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

All this is on Kim Lunts tree on ancestry

Linda

Linda Report 19 Apr 2008 18:20

Yes thanks, that looks like her again in 1861.

Linda

Linda Report 19 Apr 2008 18:18

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

Lindsey* Report 19 Apr 2008 18:16

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

I think it calls for somerset records

The Igi references are submitted and not extracted .

Dea Report 19 Apr 2008 18:08

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.

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.

 Lindsey*

Lindsey* Report 19 Apr 2008 17:47

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

Linda

Linda Report 19 Apr 2008 17:37

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.
