I wonder if John Marsh had a will. If he did it might enlighten us about his relationship to Hannah Cowley, and whether she became Hannah Marsh.

You'd need to know when & where he died - the systems changed in 1858 so if he died before this - highhly likely - the will could be held in local records and not centrally recorded.

Without finging Mary Cowley or Hannah's whereabouts in 1851 it is difficult to know if John died in the Mansfield area.

Re. 1841 entry......

Does the entry between Mary and Hannah perhaps say.......

Her daughter attends school for Needle Work.........

Gwyn

Good try Gwyn but when I last looked it said :

(her daughter) attends school for ???? Unk. (usually means unknown).

The ??? looks like it starts with an 'M' when comparing with the rest of the writing on the page but definitely not a 'W' I think. 'May say 'Maids' ????? BUT is very difficult to read with that thick line scored through it........... grrrrrr !!! :-(

Dea x

....had another look at 1841.

Mystery word looks to start with N...compare with 1st letter of ...No,.... for John MARSH's birthplace.

End of that mstery word ends with E, ...compare with last letter of LACE ..or MACHINE... further down that page.

Why can't they do a neat tick at end of entry.......... :-(

I think without doubt it says
Mary Cowley 47 Servant - b. Derbys.
Hannah -do- 12 '(her daughter) attends school for Needle Work'. born in county.

Hi Everyone

Thanks for working on those difficult scored through words about Hannah Cowley. They had me stumped.

There are 2 deaths for a John Marsh in Mansfield Notts in 1848. One in first Qtr and one in 2nd Qtr, so seems likely he died in 1848 at the grand old age of approx 88. Also in the Index to Death Duty Registers in 1848 for John Marsh, Mansfield Notts. How would I go about accessing this record?
