Find Ancestors

I have a lot of info about my relatives who lived in Sudbury, Suffolk. However, I have been unable to trace any info on Susannah Nicholls (Sushannah) on 1861 census, and away from home in 1851 census. I am trying to find her DOB and christening date. All her brothers and sisters (there were 9 other children) were christened at St Gregory or St Peter, Sudbury.

She was 9 at the time of the 1851 census

Father was Peter Nicholls born 1807 married Matilda Daley in 1829.

It seems odd that one daughter in a line of children should not be christened.

Can anyone succeed where others have failed in finding her DOB

Thanks in advance

Maybe she was baptised at a different church. ?

Have you accounted for each of the other children in census?

I have known of children to be christened with one name and be registered with a different forename.
Could this have happened in your family and Susannah was baptised using a different name.?

My gt grandparents had 16 children and I have found 14 of them on the London baptisms one I didnt find may have died soon after birth and the other one was my grandmother who was number 16 and they moved to another area when she was born I am sure she was baptised but obviously not at the same church as the others

Is this her??

Thank you everyone for your help.

Do not know how I failed to find her in the christening records of St Peters.

Will track down the possible marriage, although I did find a Susannah Nicholls working as a servant in London on the 1871 census.

When I posted my query, I said her mother's maiden name was Mathilda Daley - cannot explain why as her name was Mayes, possibly May (on the 1851 census Susannah was away from home staying with Abraham May & his wife - could be her grandparents).

Thanks once again for all the info.
