Hi Catherine

I have a TRIBBLE in my family tree. Selina was the second wife of my gg
great uncle, James BALL.

I found the GRO reference to their marriage, and to Selina's death, and
she should have been alive and on the 1851 census - but could I find
her?!

Eventually I did. Selina T. RIBLE was a 21-year-old servant in Totnes.

So, never give up- don't just think laterally, think 'bad spelling',
too!
