Please could you help with my researchregarding the wife of George Rampton, Blacksmith/Farrier who died on the 27thAugust 1842 in Knightsbridge. George was married to Mary Ann Weaver – I haveresearched the marriage but cannot find any documentation or reference to theirmarriage. Mary Ann’s last known whereabouts was in 1842 when she was down onher son William Henry Rampton’s death certificate in December 1842 as theinformant of his death. Which on his death certificate states he died at theRose and Crown Yard Knightsbridge. (Which is the same address as on his fathersdeath certificate a few months earlier). Although on the burial in the parishof St. Margaret, Westminster it states that William Henry Rampton was living inthe Workhouse, buried on the 14th December.
After her son's death Mary Ann appearsto just disappear. After extensive research I cannot find her anywhere. I havehowever found something rather strange. A marriage record in 1877 at the Parish Church of St. StephenWestminster, Middlesex for a Mary Eliza Ann Rampton aged 28 spinster whosefather is down as George Rampton (deceased) Farrier. She married WilliamHutchings. (coincidentally this is the same church that Mary Ann Rampton’s sonGeorge married in just four years previously). I have traced Mary E A Rampton afterher marriage and I have no problem researching her after 1877 but I have tried to find Mary Eliza Ann Rampton before 1877 buthave drawn a blank. Who is Mary Eliza Ann Rampton?
I have found a Mary E A Osborne on the1851 Channel Islands Census Record, within the correct birth date, whose mother is Mary Ann Osborne. Is MaryAnn Osborne the Mary Ann Rampton, who was married to George Rampton Blacksmith/Farrier, the one and the same person. Did Mary Ann Rampton have a child after the death of her husband – George Rampton, a possible illigitimate child before she married William Osborne? and gave the child
William and Mary Ann Rampton had a number of children but I cannot find any birthindex for them, so that I can obtain a birth certificate for any of the children, which would have their mothers maiden name/or previous name on. I cannot find any marriage for William Osborne.
I have tracked William and Mary Ann Osborne on the 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881 channel island census
This is quite a complicated query butwould appreciate it if I could get some help in solving this mystery.
