This is Mary in the 1911 Census although she is a widow she has completed the details about the number of Years married and she states 39 complete years, 10 children born to marriage (8 living, 2 dead)

Elizabeth Taylor 30 (not on image)

EDIT

Elizabeth Taylor is on the transcription but not on the image. Elizabeth is next door wife of James Taylor aged 34 yrs ( possibly Mary's son James B 1878?)

The Mary Ann with parents John and Phoebe Preston doesn't seem to be the one.

She married 1868 to William Matthews,they had Phoebe Agnes Matthews 1870 Prescot Lancashire.

If Mary filled in the 1911 census then she must have put 5 years on her age!!

(wonder if above?)

Chris :)

(although something odd!, Daughter Mary Porter 10mths, Married 4, 2 children, 1 living, 1 died)

It was Mary's son, Samuel, that signed the 1911 Census Declaration.

I think that this is the right family in 1851 in line with the info posted above by me and Chris:

Age: 27
Estimated birth year: abt 1824
Relation: Head
Spouse's Name: Mary Preston
Gender: Male
Where born: Bilston, Staffordshire, England

John Preston 27
Mary Preston 27
John Preston 8
Maria Preston 4 <<<<<<<
Samuel Preston 1
Betsy Preston 24

Was Mary Preston born 1847 for certain or is that a guess.
Do you have documentation for the 1847 birth?

1861 a William Taylor a Puddler with mum Martha, but I can't find him in 1871.

Maryb.

I can't remember where I got the info from on mary preston birth
or on William taylor birth the only certs I have is the birth cert for the daughter sarah ann b 1885 and her marriage cert

I need to find the right birth for mary preston to find out who her parents are
and a marriage to William taylor unless they was both married before it seems to be all guess work

the witness on sarah ann taylors marriage are a Benjamin harry hill and lizzie taylor

17 Freeth Street, Oldbury is the address her daughter lived at on her marriage cert

When did Sarah A. Marry, looks like Lizzie on 1911 posted then, at same address, Porter...
