Father’s name on marriage cert given as William RANSOM ! Occupation: Housemaid Addresses where they lived: 1841: (in step fathers name – RANSOM) St Clements, Ipswich. 1851: (as COPANDER SMITH – mothers maiden name) St Nicholas, Harwich, Essex. 1861: Cottage, South Town, Gorleston, Suffolk Date, place and cause of death: Cassandra died 25th April 1869 age 36 of diseased liver and peritonitis after bilious vomiting for 3 days.

Thanks Marquette I have those thanks. They are her parents. John Lee married Mary after Cassandra married William Ransom. I don't know why they didn't marry each other originally when daughter was on the way. John Lee is named as father on Christening records. Maybe a love affair gone wrong ? She married him twenty years later so I guess they were made for each other.
Daughter Cassandra married her mother's lodger Henry Palmer. He was listed with his parents too on that census. When Cassandra died, Henry married her cousin Susannah Graystone nee Smith within a few months. Probably to give both their sets of children a mother and father. That took a lot of working out too!! (finding the relationship between Cassandra and Susannah that is)
