  • Anyone up for a puzzle?

    Mary Ann Jennings was born to William and Mary, Elmore gloucestershire, 21.5.1819.
    I am after following her from that.
    This might throw you off or on track. She MAY have married a John Oakley. St Albans.(marriage lists on ancestry)
    Cannot prove that. Would it be in Palletts or some thing a bit off-beat?

    Many thanks Happy days

        Have you found John and Mary in 1841 and 1851 to see if census details help?

          Not necessarily ... or is my maths even worse than I think

            Thanks for the above replies. I may have them on the 1851 - not sure. Could send for the cert but was hoping there was an easier route as my link to them is a very long-shot - and I've had too many of them over the last 10 years or so.
            Best wishes Happy days

              she would have been 18 in 1837, so most likely made registration.

                That is only a possible marriage as there is more than one couple listed on the page, and we don't know from that who married who.

                  The marriage is on FamilySearch and John Oakley married Sarah Webb 23 Aug 1840 St Peters, St Albans. Although it is a "submitted" entry, but since Sarah Webb is one of the names with a matching page number on FreeBMD and there is an exact date and church named on the submitted IGI entry, I should think it is very likely to be correct.

                    I couldn't see a very good match for Mary in 1851 (if she was Mrs Oakley).

                    I don't know which family you were thinking of, but why would she go all the way to Hertfordshire to get married? Was John Oakley from that area?

                        This might be worth investigating (Gloucester district covers Elmore):

                          I've found a possible candidate:
                          1851 census has, at Uckington, Elmston Hardwick, Gloucestershire:
                          Richard Limbrick Head Mar 38 Ag Lab Glos Boddington
                          Mary Ann Limbrick Wife Mar 30 Do Elmore

                          And looking on FreeBMD there is a possible marriage between Richard Limbrick and Mary Ann Jennings Oct-Dec 1844 Gloucester vol 11 page 419 (again, there are several people listed on the page so we can't be sure those two married each other).

                          (snap, Merry!)

                            Many thanks for all above, taking the time and trouble.
                            This would seem to be the family in question )transcribed as Oakey, but the record almost clearly says Oakley.

                            I am suspicious of all the churchams

                            I would hope that someone might just possibly put any flesh and bones on the above. Would be hopeful that it traces back to another entry. (Mary AnnJennings born to William and Mary, 21.5. 1819 Elmore Gloucs.

                              Don't know if this helps, but the Glos baptisms CD has:

                                Do you have any reason for thinking that Mary Oakley is Mary Ann Jennings? It looks very likely that MAJ from Elmore married Richard Limbrick, don't you think?

                                  Thanks once again to both of you. Does look that way.
                                  As I say, there is a Jennings,Hayes connection over the years. John Oakley married Mary Jennings in St Albans 1840.
                                  The above 1851 census brings all three together. Co-incidence? The Mary Hayes one particularly fascinates me.

                                      But the St Albans marriage is likely to be John Oakley to Sarah Webb (see earlier post from Kite)

                                        There's a John and Sarah Oakley living in St Albans in 1951 with a nine-year-old child, so I should think they are good candidates for the 1840 marriage.
