Can anyone find Rebecca Louise Nichols please

[Heather Positive Thinker]

Rebecca was born May 1819 in Lewisham (it varies by up to 2 years). I have her in 1841 with widowed mum and siblings and then nothing til 1861 when she turns up as Rebecca L Clarke "wife" of William Clarke Master Mariner - William born c 1813 Great Yarmouth - her 4 year old niece living with them. They live in Limehouse area.

I cannot find a marriage for them. I cant find a previous marriage for Rebecca either. Nor can I find her on the 1851.

Be grateful for input please. I find them both right up to 1901 so its just the 1851 missing and the marriage. Neither do they seem to have any children. I appreciate that as a master mariner William may not be on the seen for a census.

Many thanks.

Thanks girls. You know I think I must be going senile (nods all round) as I looked at that lot a couple of times and thought oh no, thats the mum not the daughter. I even realised that the name must be Louise but still I discounted it - I guess cos of place of birth. Im loopy, but yes, I think it is her. Many thanks indeed.

Wonder why she never married. She shacked up with William by looks of it as no marriage about.

Many thanks again, I shall have to get back into the swing of researching again xxxx

I see he has a marriage for c1855 but no source. I couldn't find one anywhere tho'. Probably there for respectability sake?

Hi thanks guys, yes aidan is a distant cousin of mine. Its so long since i did anything on these people, Ive forgotten a lot. I see he has stuff I gave him 8 years ago :( Forgetting things too much now. xxx

[Darksecretz]

did you chase up William's mariner records at all Heather? would they say if/when he married? or did he leave a will?

[Heather Positive Thinker]

TBH Its such a long time Im really forgetting what I have done :( I know i have his master mariners record - will have a look. You get out of practice
