Singer song of sixpence
When James Burrows married in 1858 his wife's name was given as Elizabeth Singer daughter of William Jessie. Searches for the first Singer marriage failed. findmypast had just lately launched their MarriageFinder TM tool, so I plugged in the names, and was delighted to find the marriage of Elizabeth Jess in about the right time frame. freebmd gave me the groom's name, Edward Sanger. It took quite a while to get all the census entries sorted, and I've still not found James and Elizabeth's two children, but feel much closer to a solution. In addition findmypast has the burials at Penselwood for some of them. All for a lot less than sixpence!
