This is one from the closet. she married beneath her class. She married John, even though he had his own buisness as a confectioner/baker he was still a tradesman. John used to supply to the homes of the wealthy and that is how he met my Great Grandmother. They had 13? children .The people who knew about her have long gone, it is just a romantic story that I would love to shed some light on.Helena.

Did they have Children? If so, when was the 1st one born?..and where?

You have to find her marriage 1st to know what her maiden name was before you will be able to find her birth

Have you looked for any of her Childrens births?

John was born in Morpeth the son of William

I don't know, all I know is that George was born in c1876 there are 13 children on a family photograph so there must be some more before him?
