If anyone has a fancy to have a hunt for these two, I'd be very grateful.

I've been trying to find baptisms for these two ladies with no luck!
Both probably born about 1760, probably Suffolk. but could at a pinch be Norfolk.
May be sisters may not be! but both seem to have married the same man.

Elizabeth, that is fantastic, I've looked for that for about 10 years and there it was on IGI.

Now can we find the other one, big question, was she her sister?

Just came back to say I've found it and you've beaten me to it.

Mind you this does open a can of worms, it seems they were married to the same man, not at the same time, I can understand it, you need someone to look after the children when wife no 2 dies, why not ask their Auntie. But, as I posted on TOGGG this man was a Vicar! didn't think it was legal !
