	Now this is where it gets a little "iffy" That tree that I posted above has the following for Mary Ann Jessett, and no further information on her Mary Ann Jessett Birth Jan 1861 Battersea, London, , England Death Oct 1912 Wandsworth, London, , England 1881 Age: 20 Residence Wimbledon, Surrey, England Source:- 1881 England Census 1901 Age: 40 Residence Wandsworth, London, England Source:- 1901 England Census 1912 Oct Age: 51 Death Wandsworth, London, , England That death obviously doesn't match with the information that Sandra has .... but I wonder if Wendy (the tree owner) has in fact got mother's death mixed up with the daughter????????? Parents John Thomas Jessett 1837 – 1883 Mary Ann Brewer 1836 – 1912 Birth 1836 Wandsworth, Surrey, England Death 12 Jan 1912 Union Infirmary, St.John's Hill, Wandsworth sylvia

	Arthur from 1891 census: Births Sep 1890 Jessett Arthur Jeater Wandsworth 1d 691 (But it is an L on the original, when compared with other names on the page, so he probably just wrote it down 'wrong')

Member Since: August 2008 Posts: 8 Send Message	Trying to find my G Grandparents Andrew Alexander born c1862 in St. Andrews, Scotland who married Mary Ann Jessett born c 1861 in, daughter of John Jessett and Mary Brewer. Andrew and Mary Ann were married 25/9/1884 in Wandsworth, Surrey. In the 1891 census they were living at Romney Marsh, Kent with their 3 sons.. Mary Ann died in 19/10/1920 in Balfour St. Glasgow and Andrew died 24/4/1932 in Balornook Road, Glasgow. I cannot find them in any other census anywhere! Would like to know how many other children they had and where they resided, any info. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Sandra
