Find Ancestors

Hello All, can I ask your help please?
I have a Maria Plant born in Woolwich married to Joseph Plant.

I am trying to pinpoint her birth year it is most likely between 1813 and 1820.
On the 1841 census she is mistranscribed as Maria Raul can I please have the later census info about her age.

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Thankyou


Sheila

In the same parish records there is a Maria Wright Head born 1820 with father John Coleman mother Sarah Head.

What does Spurious mean?????

the 2 Sons on 1861 Census were born Ireland, so probably explains where they were 1851...

Spurious, where is that, lol...

Spurious

Not fact
of Illegitimate birth

Thank you Chris you have been busy for me,itssgreat.

I do have the family from Joseph and Maria. its her father I am stuck with,I thought I knew it...but how wrong I seem to be.

Joseph must have been stationed in Ireland while in the Army,the family landed back in Woolwich later on and stopped there.


Many Thanks

Sheila

Bit of a tangle with names on Baptism...
On the marriage image, there is a witness Sarah (looks like Newton?) who has signed with an X...
