They married in Dec. Qtr. 1852 in Penkridge, Staffordshire, but they are not on the same page.

Tom this could be a possible in 1851...

Tom what was her husbands name? Georgina.

HI Georgina, her husband was called Enoch Bradbury.

Tom have you looked at the Coley family living next door to Fanny Bradbury on the 1861 census, theres a good chance it is Fanny's parents. If they are then here is Fanny in 1851...

Thanks Georgina, hadn;t seen that, looked at the image a while ago, but only got the cert with her maiden name on a couple of days ago. Do you think that it is them?

Sorry for deserting you Tom I had the school run to do. I think that is definitely your Fanny in 1851 and she is living nextdoor to her parents in 1861. Georgina.

Thanks, Problem is though, she was born before 1837, but some siblings were born afterwards, but there are two Matilda Coley born 1837, if you look on IGI or 1851 census, but only one of them has been registered. Haha, problem solved - will order birth cert of Eliza Coley, only one registered.
