I'm afraid I'm not sure at all.

The 1881 census for Thomas the shoemaker can't be her husband.

If it's her mother's husband then ??????????

Lynda Report 2 Mar 2011 20:11

apparently i made a mistake she was born in 1855/6 so it would probably be her

Lynda

Lynda Report 2 Mar 2011 20:05

Yes, I think the Mary Anns have got mixed up along the way.

Lynda

Lynda Report 2 Mar 2011 20:00

Hang on a minute.

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

Lynda

Lynda Report 2 Mar 2011 20:00

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

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

Mike * Report 2 Mar 2011 19:54

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

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.

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.
