Hello,
Unfortunately I know next to nothing about Susannah, I have her marriage in
Lewes in 1797 and baptisms of two children in Lewes in 1801 and 1803. No
trace in the 1841 census of her or husband Richard. I have been through
Lewes marriages and there is nothing to suggest she had married previous to
Richard so my guess is she was early 20s in 1897 which would have made her
early 30s in 1806. There are baptisms in Lewes to a John and Ann Dunford in
the 1770s so they could have been her parents. A John Dunford was buried in
1802 which would fit with widowed mother having moved with daughter and son
in law to Monmouthshire. Maybe they couldn't afford to support her so she
was sent back to Lewes.

Why would Susannah have been examined - I assume that means questioned by
the parish - maybe she alleged she could support her mother but the parish
overseers weren't so sure - or the other way around, she couldn't/wouldn't
support her and wanted her sent back!

This couple have been a brick wall for 10 years so finding any reference
after all this time is exciting. All I have to do now is trawl all of
Monmouthshire for burial records I had expected to find in Lewes!
Regards,
Molly

Hello,
Not knowing the age, she could have been her daughter before her marriage
to
Phillips, and the new husband would not accept her.
How old was Susannah and had she been married before.
Regards Barbara
