Can anyone find her (probably in Leics) in 1841 &/or 1851?
She should be Single, and aged about 62 (1841) / 72 (1851), because she's a spinster at her death in April 1864, aged 85 (I've just received the cert, and the notifier was Elizabeth BALL, who's an 1861 next-door neighbour, which I feel makes my assumption - see next para - reasonable). In 1861 she's a "W", and 82.
I've tried all sorts of tricks to winkle her out - including looking all the way through North Kilworth (where she is in 1861, pretending to be Rhoda BENNETT, with her daughter & family). I'd homed in on her daughter, Martha's, IGI baptism record:
b 4 Jun 1803 [C034613] m = RHODE WESTON
and have a copy of that Register page.
I'm part way through Arnesby, now. I think that's what "Hamsby"/"Harnsby" in 1861 probably means.
