I was wondering whether there would be any way of tracking the maiden name of someone born as early as 1820?
Ive got a few names on my tree that seem difficult to crack.

For example:
Charlotte Brice, born c1820, Gloucestershire.
She married Richard Brice born c1820, Gloucestershire. They had 6 children, Thomas 1836, Sarah 1838, Charles 1841, Margaret 1843, Francis 1845, born Lydney Gloucestershire.

Registration district: Monmouth
Sub-registration district: Coleford
ED, institution, or vessel: 5d
Neighbors: View others on page
Household schedule number: 57
Household Members: Name Age
Charles Brice 10
Charlotte Brice 43
Francis Brice 6
John Brice 4
Margaret Brice 8
Richard Brice 44
Sarah Brice 13
Thomas Brice 15


Example no.2:
Got a few more similar requests you could attempt to track for me.

Catharine Haddock, born c1825, Lancs (Westhoughton?), married Richard Haddock c1825, Lancs (same?).

2 children, Jane Haddock, 1849, Westhoughton, Lancs- married Richard Baxendale 1850, Hindley

Richard Haddock, 1851, Westhoughton.

Trying to isolate Catharine's maiden name.



Thanks all

Buy a birth certificate of any child born after 1837 ?
That will give mothers maiden name.

Researching:
For better results please give all the details ,name, date place as you can {pictures by me }

Possible answer.
Richard Brice Married Charlotte Collins on 22 Dec 1833, at Lydney Gloucestershire, No fathers names were given, however the witnesses were John Collins and Marey Rose Collins, minister officiating at ceremony Yate Fosbrooke Curate

PS there is also a possibility that their daughter Sarah is my 3 x grandmother, I'm currently researching the Brice family
