Can anyone help me find out which of the two Lucy Illmans married Richard Laker?

And then find what happened to the one who didn't marry Richard Laker?

Hello

You ask about Lucy Illman:

Lucy (nee Brooks) married James Illman .. 2nd October 1787 at Shipley Sussex

Lucy .. their daughter was baptised 10th February 1793 West Grinstead

Hope this solves your problem

Thanks Jane, I think that's what my info says, what I was trying to find out was which of the two Lucy's, the one born to James & Lucy or the one born to Edward & Jane, married Richard Laker.

Is this still a Brickwall, or have you solved it?

Unless otherwise advised this will be moved to the Brickwalls Archived section
within 24 hours

It's not been solved but there doesn't seem to be much more forthcoming.

Thanks SRD - will archive.
