The prompt for this post is “A Breakthrough Moment”.
A few weeks ago, I decided to investigate my somewhat
mysterious ancestor, Susannah Hobson.
Susannah Hobson married Eden Davies* in 1781, in Passenham, Northamptonshire,
England. It was the second marriage for
both. I am descended from their daughter
Elizabeth.
One method for investigating family history is to look at their
family, associates and neighbours (known as the FAN club), so I had a closer
look at Susannah’s son from her first marriage (to Francis Cull), Richard Cull. I discovered that Richard Cull moved from Passenham
to Hertingfordbury, Hertfordshire, which distracted me away from Susannah
Hobson.
