Hi,
This is a long shot and I'm not sure this can ever be really solved but here goes ;D
I traced my ancestors marriage entry:
William Tolly & Esther Masus
3rd April 1797 Ribbesford, Worcestershire, England
The problem is Esther's surname must has been mis-spelt or maybe spelt with the local accent because Masus isn't a surname that occurs in the Worcestershire area or anyother areas that I can find.
I've posted on other forums and surnames like Massey and Mason have been suggested but I can't find any suitable Bapt' for Esther born around 1777-1783 in Martley, Worcestershire (according to the census returns).
I've contacted the Worcestershire Archive office who confirmed that the original transcript does state Masus and they suggested the surname Morris
Any ideas ????
Kind regards
Adrian
