Googling Scuvinski I can see the name of Meretta Cave with a query by Scuvinski attached to a photo on Ancestry,

this marriage

Cave Meretta Ann Bedford 3b 661

Seabrook William George Bedford 3b 661

Definitely born Cave though

Births Mar 1861 (>99%)
CAVE Maretta Ann Leighton B 3b 391
CAVE Martha Ann Leighton Buzzard 3b 391 (edit It is Maretta on image , there is no Martha )

I think the tree on Ancestry has her confused with someone else? as the date of death accompanying the photo seems to be wrong ( given as 1956)

This would appear to be correct

Hi, thank you for your input and information, only the name Scuvinski has been bugging me for a long time as i have not seen the name listed on any other research site

Thanks.

Ian, you mentioned in your message to me that you'd found it on another site when googling - that other site obviously has wrong information that is best just ignored.

the only Scuvinski I can find - Polish

googling brings up this from My Trees.com (can't see further info apart from the starts of a list of sons and daughters)

First name(s) Last name Relationship Marital status Gender Age Birth year Occupation Birth place
Elizabeth Seabrook Wife - Female 36 1835 - Buckinghamshire, England
Elizabeth Seabrook Daughter - Female 9 1862 - Buckinghamshire, England
Eliza Seabrook Daughter - Female 8 1863 - Hertfordshire, England
William Seabrook Son - Male 6 1865 - Hertfordshire, England
Sarah J Seabrook Daughter - Female 3 1868 - Buckinghamshire, England
Emily A Seabrook Daughter - Female 1 1870 - Buckinghamshire, England

Given location possible for William Seabrook?

The info posted by greyghost is what I found - it makes no sense at all.

Someone, for whatever reason, has put an erroneous name in their tree on Mytrees.com and that now comes up in internet searches and causes confusion. As said, just ignore other people's errors.

The information posted above seems to prove she was born, baptised and married as CAVE.
