Thanks Lyn, the update to the story is on post #6
I have fouled up somewhere with the first marriage of my grt grandfather.
George Chambers (abt 1843 Lincoln) married Ellen Broughton (abt 1845) in Lincoln in 1874.
I think the couple had three children;
George William 1876
Elizabeth 1879
Mary Ann Elizabeth or Mary Ann Ellen 1880
In the 1881 census George (1843) and George W are listed in a household as b-i-l and nurse child to the head of the house (George Graby). The girls and Ellen are missing. George Chambers does not have anything recorded for maritial status either.
In 1885 George Chambers remarried to Martha Thorbon Elmer, a witness was George Graby. The cert states the groom as a widower.
1891 Census shows George Graby as head of the house with the young George W listed as nephew. Still no sign of the girls or Ellen.
I recorded Ellen Chambers death as abt 1881/1882 but now i cannot find a death entry for the name anywhere near the time.
There is a death in 1877 for an Ellen (child aged 0 in the right parish) and one near Sleaford in 1884 (aged 29).
What happened to Ellen and when?

Mary Ann Ellen <Chambers> Pedigree
Female
Christening: 20 APR 1880 Saint Martin, Lincoln, Lincoln, England

Father: George Chambers

Mary Ann Chambers Abode St Martin,1 St Martins Row Buried 23/10/1880 Age 7m Cemetery Lincoln, Canwick Road Plot B1235 Extra
