I have this lady (born 1812, Birmingham) as a daughter, on the 1841, 1851 and 1861 census (when she died).
In 1841
Living Upper Tower Street, St George District of Birmingham, Warwickshire.
Thomas Gay 55 toolmaker, not born in Warwickshire.
Sarah (Faulkner) Gay 55 born in Warwickwhire.
Thomas Gay 20 toolmaker, not born in Warwickshire
Edward Gay 15 gunmaker, not born in Warwickshire bapt. 18th Mar 1827 Buscot, Berkshire
Henry Gay 15 toolmaker, not born in Warwickshire bapt 16th Sept 1821 Buscot, Berkshire
Harriet Gay 15, not born in Warwickshire bapt 1st Feb 1824 Buscot, Berkshire
Mary Pedley 25, born in Warwickshire.
They also had two more children baptised in Buscot, Berkshire.
George Gay baptised 12th Jan 1823
Eliza Gay baptised 7th March 1830
As she has a different name to the rest of the family I was wondering if anyone has any ideas as to who she is ..... I mean .... was she married, is she a child born to Sarah (married 1813 after Mary Pedley was born) before she was married or was Sarah married previously ... I thought her mother's maiden name was Faulkner so not her daughter but I could be wrong.
My head's in a muddle and I can't seem to get myself sorted with this lady. ... the 1851 has her down as unmarried ... the 1861 (mistranscribed as Bedley) she's down as a widow.
This may all sound a bit garbled but thankyou for any ideas which I may not have considered
