She has been busy alviegal,lol. I appreciate it very much. I agree with you that Mary was probably with John Engstrom whilst still married to John Duckett, the only query I have is that I was told (and I know you cant go by what you are told) she was with a Thomas Engstrom (so partly right on the part of the person who provided this information to my cousins friend) were John and Thomas brothers (or have I completely lost the plot)

Also thank you, I have been looking at all the links which have been sent and what interesting reading it all makes.

So William James and John Henry appear to be Engstroms.

Gosh, it makes me wonder if Mary left John Duckett because he was a bit of a bad egg, but its the fact that she left her children behind!!

I'm the same Deborah. I've completely reversed my thoughts on John Duckett now and feel sympathy for him.

Yes, and then he is in all sorts of trouble because he couldn't care for them properly.

I was "told" that Mary was married to John Duckett/Duckette, we have established that as a fact, then she married a Thomas Engstrom and this liaison had 2 children, Mary and Thomas. I can find no marriage of Mary and Thomas Engstrom or children named Mary and Thomas.
