Hello All

Im having a struggle and if someone can have a fresh look for me please...

Mary Ann Evans, Baptised in St Annes Church Soho, Westminster 1832. Her parents according to this are Robert and Harriet Evans.

I have Mary Ann Evans, Marriage Banns to George Hills in Bethnal Green in 1855. George was a widower and is older than Mary Ann Evans. He had two children prior this marriage, his first wife was Mary Ann Brown in Fordham Cambs: she died in 1848 so between then and 1855 George Hills moved to london with his two children. So I have been on wild goose chase with this one as I didnt realise until late that he had married two ladies with the same first names. Anyway I have worked this out and got the certificates to support this. I am just waiting for the marriage one for her and George to come through,

I am looking for Mary Ann Evans and her parents in 1841, 1851 census before she got married in 1855, the marriage banns stated her address was in Warner Place which is in Bethnal Green,. I have the subsequent census details with her husband, step children and then their own children 1861 onwards.

Mary Ann E is my 2x Great Grandmother.

i am struggling to see anything so any help would be great.

Thank you

Robert Evans (Oil & Colour Man) was deceased at the time of the 1855 marriage

Mary Ann was not at 5, Warner Place in 1851

The marriage cert is on Ancestry

Could Mary Ann be known as May? There is this record in the 1841 census:-

Morgan Street, St George, St George in the East, London & Middlesex, England

Robert Evans Male 40 1801 - (on image occ. is Colourman)
Harriott Evans Female 35 1806 -

May Evans Female 9 1832 Middlesex, England<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
George Evans Male 5 1836 Middlesex, England
Frederic Evans Male 3 1838 Middlesex, England
