Fanny was an often used diminutive of the name Frances try using that name when searching for records of her.

You might also look under the surname Stinchcombe which was quite common in that part of England.

Thanks for your quick replies and information which looks very encouraging.

Charles and Fanny Sweeting are very distant relatives so at this stage feel unable to obtain a certificate, but one day when I have some spare cash ;-)
