Hi David

What was the date of her marriage? If she married after the 1841 census you should be able to find her on the 1841 - possibly with parents ?

Have you found the family on any census, David? Just a thought in case it gave any clues.

IGI on Family Search gives Charlotte Matilda Gowing born 14 February 1824 and baptised 14 May 1824 at St Clements Church, Ipswich. However only a mother's name of Catherine is given.

use this link and then choose the county, clicking on the relevant batch number opens a search page, put the surname in the box, or leave it blank to see all the events in that church
