Have you found George Wasshington in the UK census?

Yes George Washington was the eldest, but i havent been able to find him or John H in the states at all. I did wonder if Mary was from the states orginally but again i cant find anything.

Thanks

As Mary Ann consistantly lists her birthplace as Oxfordshire in the census it would seem unlikley that she was born in London. She may have even married in the States

Hi Margaret.

I have all her childrens names and a birth cert for one of them, this is how i know her maiden name.

Her husband was John Rumsey born 1820c in Steepley Leese, Dorset.

Thanks Ginny.

The marriage I posted is about the time to match the birth you posted, also her father is Samuel

I think youre getting Mary's mixed up

If she's a relative of yours you should be working backwards from what you know for certain. Is she a direct ancestor? If so you should know her childrens' names but you don't even know her husband's name.

Hi Mike. and K.

Marriages Jun 1838 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GUINEA Mary Bedminster 11 73
Got this from Freebmd.

I was trying find any possiblities for her. Because her first two sons George Washington and John Henry on 1871 census say they are USA British Subjects.
Her place of birth states she is from Oxfordshire.
George and John were baptised 5 Aug 1853 in Great Canford.

I cant locate their birthplace aswell as Mary Ann Elizabeth.

Thanks.

Hi Ginny.

Thanks for your reply. She married John Rumsey not Francis Jackson, i believe Mary may have married John in 1838 Somerset???

Thanks.
