I'm looking for information on my (probable) gt. gt. grandma, born in Exeter in about 1835.
Does anybody have access to baptisms for the area please? Or maybe the census (1841/51)?
I'm pretty certain she married my gt. gt. grandfather, Thomas SNELL, at St Saviour, Southwark, in 1856 - they had their first 2 children: Alice Maria (gt. grandma); and Thomas, at St Olave, Southwark, in 1858.
I'm wondering if her father, like Thomas, may have been a mariner.
TIA

Looks like Ezekiel and Wilhelmina (what names!) were probably cousins.
Bill

eeekkkk MY Mistake .... :-[ :-[
Ezekiel POLLARD = Elizabeth SAILSBURY NOT SPICER ... Thats what happens when everything is scribbled down ...sorry :P
deb ;D
-
Easily done, Deb
BTW,
SAILSBURY
That is SAILSBURY and not SALISBURY? I've not come across that name before.
Bill ;D
-
Looks like it is not so uncommon - just found loads of 'em on Freebmd!
:-[
-
Hi Bill
yep ..I also looked at her surname twice ... definitely is Sailsbury on IGI. It seems like they spell it the way you would say Salisbury ...
Have to pop out will be back soon ... will keep looking for them in 1851. Also can you give me the References for Mary Ann Snell nee Leary
deb :)
-
If, and I'm pretty sure it is, this is the right Mary Ann, she married Thomas SNELL at St Saviour, Southwark, in the June qtr of 1856 (1d 17) - I will probably have to obtain the marriage certificate to confirm it.
They had a total of 7 children in the East End of London between 1858 and abt 1877 - my gt. grandmother, Alice Maria, seems to have been the eldest (along with a possible twin brother).

Hi again
Found the above Samuel Leary in 1861

Mary wife 37 b Exeter
Hannah dau unm 28 housemaid b exeter
William son 17 light porter

Alfred 11
Frank 9
Agnes 1
Emily
I also found a James LEARY , b 1836 Exeter, living with his wife , Sophia (25) at 27 Holloway St, Trinity , Exeter. he is a shop porter.
Now , your Mary Ann Snell nee Leary had a brother James b 1836 , but he was not on the 1841 census ... maybe I should check to see if he was with grandparents?
I think we really need 1851 to see if there are anymore siblings for Mary Ann ...
deb
-

He died shortly after birth. :'(
I'm going to have to start a whole new chapter in the family history now - I didn't know anything about the Leary family a couple of hours ago, until I went looking at Freebmd and did a quick process of elimination on the possible marriages for Thomas SNELL!
ed. OOPS! That was Alice Maria's brother James - next generation!

Looks like Mary was Samuel's second wife - she couldn't be Hannah's mum!
There is an apparent marriage between Samuel LEARY and Mary Ann LEARY in Clerkenwell in March 1851 (3 81) - did he marry a cousin? Or a sister-in-law?
There is a death in Clerkenwell of Grace LEARY in June 1848 (3 91) - was she Samuel's first wife?

Hi Bill ...sorry about that ...
The children were b Middlesex and Emily was 1
I am trying to find samuel leary b c 1810 in the 1841 and 51 ... where has this family gone ?
will persevere....also I wonder who Mary Ann Leary , who married Samuel, was ...will investigate ...
deb :)
-
Hi again Bill
Well, I have searched and searched for both families in 1851 , with no luck. I wonder if the pages are missing ...it seems strange that we cannot find Mary Ann (= Thomas Snell) and her Leary family in 1851 AND Samuel Leary + Family in 1851....
also I am struggling to find Samuel on the 1841 ...at least we found your Mary Ann in 1841 ..under Lenry ... I will keep looking for them.
I did find this on 1871... Samuel Leary b c 1810, Exeter possible brother of Henry Leary ...your Mary Ann leary's dad ..., his family
St James Clerkenwell
44 Collier
Mary A LEARY head wid 47 formerly compositor's wife b Devon Exeter
Alfred son unm 21 printer compositor b Middlesex , St Pancras
Agnes H dau 13 bookfolder b Clerkenwell (BMD = Agnes Hannah)
William Leary nephew 15 printer compositor b Hackney.
Re the second wife of Samuel , Mary Ann poss. Leary .... who married 1851 ... That would then make her the mother of only Frank , Agnes and Emily and possibly Alfred.
Also If Mary Ann Leary (2nd wife of Samuel ) married in 1851 , that would have made her 27... so she could have married a Leary previously. If her maiden name was Leary ..there is a possible IGI extracted christening for Exeter ...mary Ann Leary being the daughter of a DANIEL LEARY .... ! Samuel and henry had an elder brother DANIEL b c 1801 .... If this is her , then Samuel may have married his niece ... so I am thinking that she was most probably Mary Ann Leary nee ?? ...
I hope I am making sense
deb :)

hi
IGI has most of Samuel and Mary Ann Leary's children christenings. They all took place (except for Emily) at Old Church, St Pancras on 14 Oct 1854...these are their birthdates:

Alfred John Leary 6 may 1849
Frank James Leary 26 april 1851
Agnes Hannah Leary 3 dec 1857 ...i must have mistranscribed her age on 1861

??? ??? ???
Ellen was born before Grace died! Was she really the daughter of Samuel and Mary Ann, or did the vicar just assume the children all had the same mother, as they were brought for baptism at the same time?
Alfred and Frank were born before he married Mary Ann. ::) ::)
Hannah was missing from the family in 1841 - she would have been about 8, so may have been visiting family elsewhere.
If this is her , then Samuel may have married his niece
:o :o
I'm sure that would not have been legal!
This is really wonderful Deb - I can't thank you enough for all your efforts.
Bill
-
Hi Bill
thank goodness you are here ...Okay Grace died 1848...some of the kids were born after ...but why the christenings all on the same date ,,, was something going on ?
Maybe they were all mary ann's but they could not christen them immedaitely as he was married to Grace ...
eeekkk ...it's late here ... i need to rethink ...all of the IGI christenings were extracted ...

deb :)

HI Deb
I'm not at all worried about "bulk" christenings - they were not uncommon; my grandmother was baptised on 29th April 1885, along with 3 brothers and a sister. I have always thought it might have been a way of saving money!
Grace died when Ellen was just one year old, so Samuel would have needed someone to look after the baby - Hannah was 15, but may not have been living at home at the time - so he would have turned to a close friend, neighbour, or family member (the latter seems likely in this case) who could move in and act as "housekeeper".
It was also not uncommon for such a "housekeeper" to quickly become rather more than just a nursemaid for the children! In this case it seems to have happened before wife no. 1 was cold in her grave, as Alfred was born about one year after Grace's death.
There is, of course, another possibility to consider here, particularly if Mary Ann was a widow: if she were widowed during her pregnancy she, also, would have needed someone to take care of her unborn child, and it would have suited both of them to marry - allbeit illegally - as soon as possible!
The plot thickens!!

Hey Bill ...
I think I have found the Family of James LEARY , Possible Twin of Samuel b 1809...ie; Your Henry's other younger brother ....
do you want me to do this side too ?? ;D
deb :D
-
Phew Deb! ::)
I can hardly keep up with typing up this family!! ???
If you are happy to keep looking I am happy to keep receiving - you never know when something interesting may turn up (not that it isn't all very interesting). After all, we still don't know who Mary Ann (2nd wife of Samuel) was, do we?
Many, many, heart-felt thanks for your efforts. :)
Bill

Gt gt grandma, Mary Ann (= Thomas SNELL) died aged 40 in Sept 1/4 1874. Thomas later married Elizabeth Caroline SAUNDERS (nee BEER), a widow from Dover, who was my gt grandfather's aunt, and she became step-mother to Alice Maria.
Great grandad (Alfred Albert BEER) and gt grandma (Alice Maria SNELL) were step-cousins.
I only discovered this complicated relationship fairly recently, after puzzling for 20 years about how they came to meet.
Now, with your help, I have not only got her mother's maiden name, but have gone back 2 further generations on her mother's father's line and 3 on her mother's mother's line!! 8)
I now have a tree, starting from John Leary, born in the 1700s, which shows 9 generations of his descendents down to my sisters new great grandchild, born last week. :) (I can trace her ancestors back 16 generations on 2 lines!)

Seamstress?

I'm guessing this should have said "Baker's wife", as she appears to have been a seamstress (one daughter later became a dressmaker) in the later census.
Henry Leary b 1810, died june 1877 Exeter
Can't quite work out where he fits in at the moment! Getting brain overload!! ::)

Hi Deb
Some of those old census returns can be difficult to read can't they?
As 2 of her children became dressmakers, I think we can be pretty confident it was dressmaker - I can't imagine her digging graves in the local churchyard! ;D
Bill
-
Hi Bill
Okay ...this is what I have done ... I tried to find Mary Ann Leary 2nd wife of Samuel in 1851 ...no luck.
So I have been through all the male Leary marriages 1814-1851 in Devon and then Middlesex ... Phew!
I found this marriage ..
Mary Ann Allen = Denis LEARY
mar q 1847
Kensington
Mary Ann always says she was born 1824 , Exeter...
I found a Mary Ann Allen with her parents James and Maria bc 1826 (rounded down ?)...she was 15 in 1841 living in St Paul , exeter.
then IGI extracted
Mary Ann ALLEN
chr; 12 sept 1824, St Paul, Exeter
parents; James Cloade Allen and Anna Maria
there are 4 possible deaths of Denis Leary between 1847-1850
It doesn't help that I can't find any of these people in 1851 ...that may solve all the mysteries... :-\
anyway ...what do you think?
deb
-
arrgghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ::) ::) ::)
Just found Mary Ann Allen in 1851 with her parents :-\ :-\
back to the drawing board
deb :'(
-
Hmmmm!
Certainly does look like Sextoness!! This is defined as a female sexton, or wife of a sexton. Maybe her husband was a sexton in his spare time?
A Sexton was responsible for the care and upkeep of the church and sometimes for ringing the bells and digging graves - still doesn't seem a very likely job for a woman in the 1860s. ??? ??? ???
Looking through various census returns for 1861 (Google search) reveals a number of widows listed with this occupation! ::) ::) ::)
Bill
-
:o
well I learn something every day ...I have never come across a sextoness ...I didn't even know what it meant ...so thanks for the lesson .... ;D
Maybe after baking bread and goodies all day , they needed some fresh air and exercise. ::)
bbs ...have to pop out...
I have found Daniel leary and family .... Daniel = older brother of Henry and brothers ...
deb

eeekkkk MY Mistake .... :-[ :-[
Ezekiel POLLARD = Elizabeth SAILSBURY NOT SPICER ... Thats what happens when everything is scribbled down ...sorry :P
deb ;D
Hi one more thing before i pop out ;D
I found this on IGI ....I wonder if this is her ...
Elizabeth SALISBURY
31 Aug 1761
St Thomas the Apostle
parents; John Salisbury and Jane
the surname has many variations ...Salesbury/ Salsbury/ Sailsbury etc
will look further
deb
-
Having seen a copy of the census entry, I have to agree that her occupation is almost certainly Sextoness.
I have never come across this before - I can't imagine that a woman would have been given the job of grave-digging though - probably just a sort of care-taker for the church. I had a picture in my mind of a large, muscular woman wielding a shovel! :o ;D
Bill
-
Elizabeth SALISBURY
31 Aug 1761
St Thomas the Apostle
parents; John Salisbury and Jane
Unfortunately, unless one of the parties was a minor, we don't get fathers' names on marriage entries before civil registration in April 1837, so it is difficult to be sure.
We might be lucky and get witness names that would suggest a possible parentage if we had the original registers to look at - I think I will have to plan a few days in Devon this summer!
I've already booked a trip to Norfolk to search for further evidence of great grandad's family but, looking at the surname map mentioned on another thread, I've found that SNELL was also aparently a Devonshire name!
Looks like I might have some west-country blood in me after all my 'andsome! ???
Bill
-
Morning Bill :D
It does seem to be rather a strange occupation .... If she was just a caretaker of some sorts surely she would not have said 'sextoness' . it also seems like they did not need the money as her husband is still a Baker and the older children are working. I wonder if it was her family's occupation ....
I know Louisa Gullice is not your direct line ...but I think it may be interesting to find out .
Would you still like the details of Henry (1804) , his other brothers ...ie Daniel and John?
deb :)
Ps ... I was born in Devon and my dad was born in Cornwall ...that's exactly how he speaks ...'ello me 'andsome or 'ello me maid LOL
-
How-do Deb
Yes please - I always like to follow up siblings - you never know where they might lead.
My late mother-in-law's family were originally from Cornwall - via Co. Durham, so she didn't have a west-country accent; she was born in Washington (Co. Durham, not DC! ;D).
Do you still have a Devonshire accent, or are you now an all-American girl?
Bill
-
I don't think money would have been much of a consideration - a sexton would get paid a shilling or two for digging graves, and a few coppers for ringing the bells at a wedding but, other than that, I think it was pretty much unpaid!
The main tasks would have been preparing for the service, seeing to the lighting of the church, cleaning, arranging for repairs, obtaining supplies (candles, etc.) and generally looking after the maintenance of the fabric of the church. This could easily be handled by a woman, as it did not involve any heavy work. A local labourer could have been employed to dig graves as and when required.

Hi
I have the Leary family in my adoptive dad’s tree. I have photos somewhere of Henry Rheinlander. I’ve visited Exeter and visited some of the Churches where the Leary’s were baptised. I have a READ family tree on Ancestry. My name on there is sandrakirkham1. Charlotte Leary was my grandmother and I have photos of her too.
Would love to hear from you if you are interested.

I would be interested in anything you might have to help me track down my Mary Ann - I haven't had chance to follow up on this line yet.

I’m so sorry I’ve only just seen this. I found a Mary Ann Leary marriage to a Thomas Snell 21 Apr 1856 • Southwark St Saviour, England. What else are you looking for?
