Hi Helen

Thanks for taking a look, I was just about to add an edit saying I had found a family of Fisher's in Pontefract, but it has no William as father, and Pontefract while still in Yorkshire is quite a distance away from Dinnington, so I don't think that is my family.

I have used up all the tricks I usually use when tracking down ancestors, but this one seems to be defeating me.

Could anyone assist in helping me find my Gt Gt Grandmother Susannah Naylor nee Fisher.

I believe she was born abt 1824 in Dinnington, Yorkshire. I have her marriage cert to William Naylor in 1845 in Sheffield, Yorkshire. She claims to be 22 at this time and gives her address as George Street, Sheffield. Her father is named a William (well I think its William, is just a squiggle that looks like WM.), he is a Blacksmith.

Sadly the only census I have for Susannah is the 1851 as she dies in childbirth in 1857.

I am trying to locate her family in the 1841 to see who her parents really were and whether she had any siblings. There is a John Fisher named as a witness on her marriage cert as well as a W Hudson. Despite her father being a Blacksmith (slightly better than just a plain old AG Lab or miner) I am having trouble finding the family, could anyone offer any help or advice. I have checked the IGI and that doesn't offer any clues either.

Many Thanks
