There's a considerable amount of guesswork involved in this one. My MMMMM was Rebecca Armes, b c1811, Heigham, Norfolk - living at Heigham in 1841 (HO107/787/6) under her married name Rebecca Wills. Also at Heigham (HO107/787/7) is a Pheobe Armes b c1776 - I'm taking a guess that she might be Rebecca's mother, based solely on her being about the right age, living in the same village, and Armes being a fairly rare surname; the ages of the children living with Pheobe would fit in with Rebecca being another one of hers. I haven't yet managed to find anything to either prove or disprove this, so I'd be grateful if anyone could shed any light. Obviously I appreciate that it's the bare minimum of information, so I'll understand if it's not enough to find anything!
