    I have Mary Ann Walker WEBB born 18 Nov 1840 in Shoreditch

    I have her on 1851 census with her parents Robert Walker Webb and Martha (nee Lemmon) HO107; Piece: 1536; Folio: 140; Page: 15; ..... but nothing after that at all.


    There is a marriage in 1869 for a Mary Ann W Webb in Stepney to either Henry Costello or Alfred Alp.
    Other bride on page is Mary Moore.

    I've discounted Alfred Alp as his wife, although the right age, says she is born in Canada on 1871.

    On 1881 there is a Henry Costello with wife Mary Ann 35 (so 5 years out)


    There is a niece with them called Emily Eliza Russell born Hackney c1874 - so I'm hoping looking into her would prove/disprove if Mary Ann Costello is Mary Ann Walker Webb


    Any help and input greatly appreciated

    Cheers

    in 1871 Mary A Costello is listed as born in 1846 Shoreditch

    RG10; Piece: 472; Folio: 5; Page: 4

    so 6 years out, but right place

      I'm struggling as Emily Eliza Russell is living with the Costellos on all the census until she marries a soldier and moves into married quarters

        in 1851 Mary Ann W is listed as 9 years old, so born c1842. Are you sure about the dob in 1840?

        I have found Robert and Martha in 1841 but the only children with them are Martha (jr) and Thomas (HO107; Piece 709; Book: 2; Folio: 13; Page: 18)

          having just checked the birthdate it is taken from the IGI

          I've not confirmed it in parish records (or if I have I've not written up the notes)

          The baptism was 28 Jan 1844 in St Leonards Shoreditch so there is some leeway there for the IGI being wrong

            There's space for her to be born in 1841 or 1842

            Thomas was born about 1840/1 (aged 1 on 1841 census) and Robert Walker Webb was born 8 Nov 1843

            there's a very tight gap for her to be born in 1844 before the birth of Charles Lawrence Webb in September 1845



            I'm convinced I did all these at the LMA as I have at least two other families in the same church but the only refs I have typed up are for the IGI - so I need to go sort out my notes

                oooh - you're good

                Now I will have to investigate St Leonards as she's obviously not born a whole year before she was registered

                  Always a chance they had one who died and named the next after her.

                  I am having trouble finding a death for Mary Ann Costello, that would fit

                    The 1840 birthdate was taken from an 1844 baptism though, so I'd bet on it being a mistranscription.

                    Especially as her being born in 1841 would mean Thomas would have to have been born in 1840 to make it onto the 1841 census as a 1 year old, which means there can't be another Mary in 1840, if that makes sense.

                      ok, so it must be a mistranscription (wouldn't be a first ;))

                        I think I have a death for Henry L Costello in 1912 in Hackney

                        this is them in 1891 - RG12; Piece: 260; Folio 67; Page 40;

                        can't see them yet on 1901 to see if Mary's there or not

                            This would probably be quicker if I just ordered the marriage certificate wouldn't it?

                                aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghh


                                It's the wrong couple!!!! Just thought I'd check and see what the L stands for in 1881 - and he's Henry Luke Costello, born Bethnal Green

                                But henry Luke Costello married Mary Ann Prior

                                  and Emily Sarah Prior married David Russell in 1873

                                  hence the Emily Eliza Russell, niece

                                      yes, definitely the best solution all round

                                      Thank you anyway for spending your afternoon looking

                                      And you sorted Mary Ann's birth out for me so not a completely wasted task

                                        there is always the possibility that Henry Costello married Mary ann Proir, she died very soon after and he remarried Mary Ann Webb..........yes i'm clutching at straws.......make sure you let me know what the cert says
