Rebecca Irons
1755-1843
Rebecca was the fifth of the six known children of Joseph Irons and his wife Mary (née Nicholas) of Little Downham, Cambridgeshire.
Rebecca married Robert Barber of Witcham and together they went on to have eight children.
The Barbers moved to Ely at some point during the early 1800s, with Robert dying in Ely in 1821. Rebecca outlived her husband by 22 years and she appears on her only census, the 1841 Ely census, with her daughter Hannah, who is living in Chief's Lane with her second husband; his children from his first marriage; and her children from her first marriage.
Rebecca died in 1843 aged 88 years.
