Member Since: September 2003 Posts: 2 Send Message	Eleanor married Thomas Madew at St Martin's Birmingham on 18th August 1798. I want to find her maiden name, because she was listed as a widow on the marriage certificate. Witnesses were Richard Greaves and William Loynes, but I don't know if they are any relation.

Member Since: September 2003 Posts: 2 Send Message	Thank you, interesting that the name Pretty has come up, as I had already found records of connections betwwen Madew and Pretty families in 17C. Plus a Martha Madew being stillborn child to William Madew and Anne Pretty in 1680 The Laurence connection looks promising. Thanks.
