NOTES & QUERIES:
1. When and where was she baptised? The Wyberton, Lincolnshire PR has been checked in vain for 1814-1817.
2. Was she married or a widow in 1861?
The 1861 Census Return possibly shows an almost obliterated W for widow. The 1871 Census shows that she was a widow.
3. Did her husband die in Aylsham Registration District in 1853?
