Who When Where

Hi everyone, I have a massive ongoing mystery with my 5th great grandmother, Ann Brenning.

She married Henry Macey in 1781, Plymouth and in the record his surname is spelt as 'Mascey'. I have his side covered, but this is the earliest document I can find regarding Ann - her surname is actually spelt as Brenning on the document and I have tried relentlessly to find anything about her prior to being married, however nothing seems to be popping up, even with wildcard searches.
The marriage record states her as being a spinster and there's nothing to reveal her age from her death record either.

I don't know what else to do with this brick wall, if anyone can help me with a fresh pair of eyes I would be hugely grateful!

Do you have a burial for her? If so, does it give an age? It occurs to me that she may well have been born abroad if she married in a naval town like Plymouth.

Could you post details of her death record please.

The Macey children had non-conformist baptisms. Perhaps Ann was from a non-conformist family, in which baptisms for them aren't available online?

Hi everyone, many thanks for your replies.

I haven't looked at Ann for quite some time due to the colossal brick wall and I can't quite remember how I reached the conclusion that her death was in 1791 (Plymouth), however, this is definitely not her death date because this was a daughter of a William Macey (I believe) after looking at both records.

I am pretty sure that the last child she had with Henry Macey was my 4th great grandfather, also called Henry Macey.

It's very interesting that some of the non-conformist registers aren't online, I will have to look into this, as it could open up a few doors!
