Thank you Gins, that's lovely. She is definitely part of my family as I already have details on Matthew and Joanna but she was Matthew's second wife and so her children don't feature in the direct line. The old memory can't cope with all of it straight away!

This morning I received a new 'hint' from Ancestry about Lucy Rachel Oubridge and I have looked her up in FreeBMD :-

Births Jun 1866
OUBRIDGE Lucy R Newcastle T
10b 71

The family had been in that area but my family line had moved south by that time so knowing details of Lucy's family might enable me to ascertain if there is a previous family connection?

Many thanks,
Frances
