Find Ancestors

in the early 70's while metal detecting in the River Thames(yes the tide WAS out!!)

I came across a memorial brooch sadly much deteriorated on the steel parts

(Pins and latch)
the back was inscribed Frances Baly ob. 30 june 1841
aged 56 years.( buried 7th july)

I often pondered on the possibility of returning it to any family, in the present day.
I was never able to find a record of this lady....in the early days of FreeBMD, family search, 1837 -on line, as it was. and others, and my lapse of researching for the last ten or so years

until today.

found her on the 1841 census probably about 3 weeks before she died.
Husband William,(strange how that name keeps cropping up) but I digress...aged 60 he born 1781, and she 1786 .
with a daughter Elizabeth age 20
and two others who may not have been family.

William Baly and Frances Goodwin married on 31 jan 1810.
There is a wills and probate mention in 1847
and a death of an Elizabeth in 1848,
however there is a Elizabeth marriage to Saul Davy, in 1825 but I haven't yet been able to verify if this is a sibling of William......
the address for the 1841 was Norfolk Street St Margarets parish, Lynn, norfolk
