What happened to Susan Ann Legg, daughter of John Legg and Ann Pavey, born Langford Budville, Somerset 1856, on census in 1861 with Parents in Dalwood, and Stockland 1871. I know that she had 3 children out of wedlock, Sarah Jane born and died 1874, buried Dalwood, and William John died at 1 month 1878 Dalwood. son George born 17.7.1875 was raised by his grandmother, and when he married, fathers name column on marriage cert amended to mother, Susan Legg.(quite unusual, but did not say deceased)

Sorry Judith, I forgot to say in previous response that this was on the 1881 Wales Census. I could not find her on census after that, nor a death or a possible marriage.

Same here, completely disappeared, not on emigration either.
Did find a banns record at Stockland in 1878, to a Reuben North, he was sent to prison, a couple of times, then he disappears too. Perhaps she called off the wedding, then they got back together and changed their names before 1891? The imagination can take over !!!! So will work on others
