Person:Susannah Middleton (4)

Susannah Middleton's origins have yet to be established. Her first confirmed sighting is on 21st May 1780, when she was married at Heckington in Lincolnshire to William Gray. At the time of their marriage she was living at Billingborough, about eight miles to the south of Heckington.

Susannah and William have yet to be traced after their marriage.^[2]

   Burials in the Year 1807 Continued / Susannah Gray Widow 69 years old [1737/8] buried April 29

2. ↑ One possibility is that she was the widow called Susannah Gray who was buried at Heckington in 1807, who was said to be 69 years old. If this is her, it would imply that she was about fifteen years older than her husband. No possible burial for William has yet been identified in the Heckington area, so it could be that Susannah and William moved away and the lady buried at Heckington in 1807 was someone else.
