Hi please can anyone help as i have hit a brick wall.
I am trying to find Mary Strorey who was my 3x great grandmother she was born Mary Blackburn abt 1818 in Martin & Timberland ,Lincolnshire. The last two census returnes i can find for her are 1861 & 1871 she is living in Great Hale,Lincolnshire with her third husband Richard Storey. It is possible that she has died or lost Richard and married for a 4th time but i have been unable to find anything at all after the 1871 census.

Have you looked at freebmd to see whether Richard died?

Or whether Mary did?

Hi Reggie yes those two census returns you have found are the right person.My direct line to Mary is through her son William Porter son from her first marriage to Samuel Porter/Portas. Mary's second husband was William Barber who she married 1851 in Timberland .And she married Richard Storey in 1857 in Great Hale

Thanks, Donnie.....I was just trying to clarify the sequence in my own nimd, and hadn't found the 1857 marriage

I can now see why - doubt about the page number
