Hi rootgatherer that is the right marriage for Mary Farmer.

That could be Janes birth i havent got that i have Janes marriage in 1877 and there is a line through where her fathers name is.

Thank you Zena

MarieCeleste Report 30 Jan 2011 17:41

Zena, it's possible that Jane was with relatives - perhaps Mary Ann's parents?

There are a few possibilities for Mary Ann in the 1851 - do you know who her parents were and we can maybe trace that way?

I will go and change it on ancestry and also Marys name.

Thank you so much for your imput on this.

Zena, did Jane's marriage certificate give her mother's name please? Did is say Mary Ann Burke formerly Farmer?

Just wondering as Mary Ann is not with her parents in 1851 and not with her daughter Jane in 1861.

rootgatherer Report 31 Jan 2011 09:32

Looking at the actual image for that 1891 census Mary Ann's surname does look like Bird.

Could this be a possible marriage? The only problem perhaps, with this is that you thought that Mary Ann had married Patrick Burke so for a second marriage you would expect her to marry as Mary Ann Burke!
