No, that is not the right Martha - mine marries George Allbutt in 1869.

I think you've cracked it - seems very likely to be the right family. And I'd never have found it by searching through Rowley Regis....Thank you so much.

I have already discounted this Martha Priest, I think she married Joshua Beal in 1869.

Odd though, if the family from Bromsgrove is the correct one, that having been presumably a Priest, she calls herself Sidaway on marriage. Would be good to find her in 1861.

Do you think, maybe I should let everyone get back to whatever else they should be doing, and just buy the birth certificate?! I think it's going to be hard to prove it one way or another.
