Agnes' birth cert has arrived. No father named. Mother Elizabeth Stanbridge formerly Wells. Doesn't say she was a widow.

Not such a good Catholic woman then.

So, Thomas John Stanbridge disappeared between the 1871 census and Agnes' conception. She was born on the 21st Jan 1878.

Well, he could also have disappeared after finding out his wife was pregnant by another man!

I think that's quite likely Kate.

I've just remembered that I was told by OH's distant cousin that his family didn't want him to marry her as she was only the daughter of the local butcher (no offence to butchers). He was from a family of quite well off farmers.

Apparently they used to ignore them on the way to church.
