OR

Births Dec 1885
Evan Mary Ann - St. Geo. H. Sq. 1a 471

Can't see a birth for Mary Ann Ewin or Ewen

hi many thanks but i was told the name was definately spelt Ewin as it had been seen on a marriage certificate.

Lynda, even if spelt Ewin on cert it could vary - Ewen, Ewing, and probably many more! Spelling was a lot more casual back then.
Maybe if we can locate your great-grandparents we can see if a Mary Ann is with them.

A strange thing ive been told by my sister is that she believes the daughters name was Mary ann harris but on her marriage certificate it states William Ewin (deceased) as her father.

When did she marry Lynda? Have you got the cert? You really need to have a look at it.

I dont have it but she married a Thomas Talbot and showed up on the 1901 census with him but she had been married previously to a Thomas Short and widowed .

This one ?


Marriages Dec 1899 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Haden William Moore Mile End 1c 864
Harris Mary Ann Mile End 1c 864
Mitson Annie Maria Mile End 1c 864
Talbot Thomas Mile End 1c 864

yes mary ann Harris and Thomas Talbot mile end

seems strange that her name is harris and her fathers name Ewin

Previous marriage ?????????


Marriages Mar 1880 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Buckley Ellen Pancras 1b 106
Harris Thomas - Pancras 1b 106
Hollinshed Henry Pancras 1b 106
Nealon James Edward Pancras 1b 106
.................Short Mary Ann - Pancras 1b 106

EDIT :
Too early.

Maybe William was her stepfather.

thats amazing Mike so she was married to Thomas harris in 1880 hence the name harris on her marriage certificate had no idea

on the marriage certificate it does state father William Ewin deceased but as you say he could have been her step father. now i will have to find if theres a birth certificate for Mary ann short in 1885.thanks so much for your help

Was Thomas a shoemaker ?

Is this the couple ?


Household:1881

Thomas HARRIS Head M Male 20 St Pancras, Middlesex, England Shoemaker
Mary A. HARRIS Wife M Female 20 Marylebone, Middlesex, England

:
Dwelling 208 Arlington Rd
Census Place London, Middlesex, England

just noticed that she was born in 1885 so maybe the marriage is her mothers

Hang on a minute.

If she was married 1880, she can't be the one born 1885.
