Hi All,

I'm trying to clear some Sussex suggestions and am a bit stuck on the correct first name for this profile.  She appears in the 1851 census as either Zareow or Tareow depending, I guess, on whose transcription you're reading.  Is anyone in a position to check an image?  Can anyone confirm a first name from other sources?

Thanks in anticipation,

Chris.

I think her name was supposed to be Laura, as that appears to be the name she used when she married.

However, checking the birth registrations online, she was registered un-named in September quarter 1843 Hailsham Registration District MMN: RIPLEY Ref: Vol 7 Pg 329.

Just going to check if the Hellingly Baptism Register images are on FamilySearch.

Just checked the Family History Group Baptism Index and she was baptised as Laura Bradford on the 3rd September 1843 at St. Mary, Hailsham, daughter of William Bradford (labourer) & Rebecca Bradford.

N.B. The original register images are not on Family Search.

Here is her marriage in 1864 at St. Nicholas, Brighton Marriage of Laura Bradford

It's Tareow in the image for the 1851 census.
