It looks like Fanny VIRGO left Blakeney to find work "in service" in Cheltenham and there she married Charles ANDREWS in St Mary's in 1868.

The marriage is not in our database because she did not give her abode as somewhere in the Forest, which is how the 130 marriages from St Mary's Cheltenham were found and transcribed. Their marriage details are as follows
