I haven't found an obvious candidate for her in 1841. She was very young to be the mother of those children - I wonder if she was a second wife?

I came across the Bristol Wills index a few months ago whilst looking for some pesky peple called Ariel! At the time I'd not touched this part of my tree for ages, so only looked for a couple of my 'names' - another reason why doing this weekly review is so great!

I think I might ask the local reg office to look at the 1851 death cert and I'll buy it if it says Marion was the widow of John (whatever his occ!), and investigate the will too. (will look harder at the Bristol Mercury in 1842 as well)

I'm not that confident these are the right people though (here what you say, Mary, about Marion's age) and just wish I could find the daughter, Laura Louisa (or whatever that name says) ANYWHERE else! I see there are a lot of Bristol marriages on the pilot site with fathers names, but that isn't helping me with this specific problem.

Mary, I've looked for a post 1837 marriage for Mario/an to a Saunders and can't find anything, so would hope they were married by 1841, but that's not helping find her!

There should be an entry for the John Saunders 1842 will in the Index to Death Duties Register on findmypast but I'm not sure how much info it has for an entry of that period.

I should send them an email asking what they're playing at!

There was a Brewers Row in the real Westminster, so presumably the executor lived (or worked) there. Maybe we can find him on the 1841 and / or 1851!

Can't see him at Brewers Row in 1851 but I only found the odd numbers so far, and 5 houses uninhabited.
