Can anyone help me locate Mary Jane Mogridge's parents, or any other information about Mary Jane. I have exhausted all other sources that I know of - with no joy. She married Thomas Ford of Sampford Courtney and lived in London from 1891 onwards, giving her place of birth as Paignton. The 1871 census turns up a Mary Jane Mogridge as a domestic servant in Torquay, but then the trail goes cold. I would be so grateful for either solutions or suggestions.

Hi Geraldin,

You cannot believe how pleased I am with your reply - I have been searching for an answer that makes senses for nearly 5 years, with hours on line, several visits to the GRO, and paid for searches. Then you come up trumps in an hour!! Thanks a million. :) :) :)

Pleased to help. ;D
In fairness both census entries are very hard to read.
The marriage is no better. I did finally locate it
MUGGRIDGE Philip = WARRIN Elizabeth Jane Dec 1856 Totnes 5b 307 (The second G in Muggridge is crossed out
Have viewed the originals and that is how the names appear.
He is quite consistent throughout the census with a birth in Paignton but alas I still have not been able to locate him in 1841 or 1851.
Cheers Kris :)
