Sue, there is a LUCY TONGS, daughter of Robert and Mary Tongs, who was baptised on 22nd November 1773 at Stockbridge.

[Merry]

Sue, I'll have a look at my Hampshire burials CD later on today if no one else comes along with a burial before that. It should find her if she die before 1837. Have you looked for a death 1837-41?

[Merry]

This looks very hopeful :)

Burial date 12th Feb 1837 Lucy Roe buried at Stockbridge, aged 63.

So that would make her year of birth about 1773/74 which fis perfectly with the baptism found by Elizabeth :)

[ElizabethHerts]

Ooh, great, Merry. I've just come back to this - I've had a friend here all morning so I didn't have time to look for the burial.

[Langley Vale Sue]

Wonderful :) Thank you so much ladies :)

I thought I'd tried all the variations of her name, but obviously not as there is her baptism on Family Search!

Thank you both again :)

[ElizabethHerts]

I didn't look at Family Search! I suppose it shows you should try the obvious first.
