Curling
Nothing to do with the sport! My 4xg-grandparents were Thomas LUCEY and his wife Elizabeth, their children, all born in Bermondsey, being:
Elizabeth born 10 Oct 1785, Thomas baptised 1st April 1787, Mary born 27 Nov 1791, Charles born 20 Oct 1793, Frances born 5 Aug 1795, Eliza born 9 May 1797, Ann Jane born 30 Aug 1799, Amelia and Martha (twins) born 11 Oct 1801.
Thomas sr was also born in Bermondsey, on the 25th Feb 1758. He died intestate in 1814. His widow Elizabeth died in 1821.
I've been told by other people researching these people that Elizabeth's maiden name was Curling and that her father was John Curling, but I've never been able to find out where exactly this information came from - everyone got it from someone else! Can anyone find anything to back it up, or suggest where I could look, please? Elizabeth's will doesn't mention any relatives except her children.
