Hi

Does anyone know of another name that someone called Phoebe may use?, e.g an Elizabeth is Betty, or an Ellen is Nellie.

I can't find Phoebe Marshall b c 1791, or any of her children anywhere in 1841.
All children illegitimate. Phoebe married John Barnes b 1767, in 1839. All children changed name to Ward for some reason and married as Ward.

George Marshall b 1819
Charles Marshall b 1822
Ann Marshall - b 1826
Thomas Marshall b 1829
Elizabeth Marshall b 1823

I thought I may find at least Phoebe somewhere with her distinctive name..

I found a possible for John on his own in Churcham in 1841? why would he be on his own?

In 1851 John and Phoebe Barnes are at Joyford with a Thomas the right age to be her son Thomas Marshall, but listed as Barnes. However at his marriage in Dec 1851 he is a 'Ward'.

Any tips anyone?

Thanks
