thats great guys thank you - unfortunately it doesnt match the name we have with the other tree - she married a arthur gillings on that one - from Great Yarmouth. So i will keep my fingers crossed that we find her somewhere else. Once again many thanks

So the one found above in the 1881 is incorrect and you are still looking for the 'right' Martha Hurrell. Do you have any other details on the groom? we could work back from the 1901 census then. Pen x This must be their marriage entry from the BMD then .. View Record Charlotte Francis 1888 Jul-Aug-Sep Yarmouth (1837-1924) Norfolk View Record Arthur Gillings 1888 Jul-Aug-Sep Yarmouth (1837-1924) Norfolk View Record Martha Hurrell 1888 Jul-Aug-Sep Yarmouth (1837-1924) Norfolk

I always confirm info by purchasing the certs. You might have to get hold of the marriage cert and birth cert for Martha or the groom (depending on your lineage) This looks like the right Martha Hurrell on the 1881 though - Name: Martha Hurrell Age: 11 Estimated birth year: abt 1870 Relation: Daughter Father's name: William G. Mother's name: Hannah Gender: Female Where born: Yarmouth, Norfolk, England Civil parish: Great Yarmouth County/Island: Norfolk Country: England Street address: 9 Blands Bldgs Education: Employment status: View image Occupation: Scholar Registration district: Yarmouth Sub-registration district: Yarmouth Northern ED, institution, or vessel: 20 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Hannah Browne 29 abt 1852 Rockland, Norfolk, England William G. Browne 32 Yarmouth, Norfolk, England head W.J. Browne 2 Yarmouth, Norfolk, England James B. Hurrell 17 Brother in Law Martha Hurrell 11 Daughter Source Citation: Class: RG11; Piece: 1915; Folio: 12; Page: 18; Line: ; GSU roll: 1341462. You can see the 1881 free on Ancestry if you register. It's also available at familysearch.org free
