Theresa, Samuel and Mary in 1891. Theresa is older than I expected her to be. Probably bumped up her age for respectability.


1891 England Census

The census was taken in April and Mary was already 11 months old, so born in May? 1890.

This was the only Mary E Smith born in the right quarter in Manchester.

It would be a good idea to first order Dennis' marriage cert, but put a ref check on spouse being Theresa. If it does turn out to be Theresa, then I think you've found your Mary.


Cheers

Looking at the 1901 image Theresa was 29 not 24 so she wasn't a very young mother :-)

Oh, I think you're right Andy. 24 could very well be 29.

Wow! What can I say????

I had discounted Dennis due to his age but it's amazing what a different perspective can do.

I have so much to follow up but I can't begin to thank you all enough for giving me a fresh start at Mary's birth.

I'll look through it all this week and hopefully I'll have good news to share.

Thanks again for taking the time to help me. If I can repay the favour with Nottinghamshire baptism look ups or Lincs marriages 1837-70, let me know. I recently purchased the Notts FHS baptism viewer and downloaded the Lincs marriages info from the website.

Thanks again
Judy
