Hello everyone, I am hoping someone can help me with some Yorkshire rellies. :)
I am researching Ann Ledger who married Thomas Maybury (Mayberry/ Mawberry/ Mowbray etc.) around 1804 somewhere in Yorkshire and they had a son Charles Maybury baptised 15.9.1805 Wath upon Dearne . Thomas's first wife Arabella Barlow had died in April 1902 in Rawmarsh, aged 21.
Can't find Thomas and Ann's marriage and don't know if they had any more children or anything else about them.
Thomas' son by his first wife Arabella Barlow, William Mayberry, was transported to Australia after being Court Martialled in Guiness, France in 1818, after he and his friend tried to steal a portmanteau from a French official, during the war.
On Charles' baptism record it says Ann's father's name was Henry and Thomas' father was William.
I'm wondering if anyone has come across Ann or Henry in their research? I'm not sure which village she is actually from.
regards
Judy in Australia

Thank you KLM for your reply and for giving me Charles Maybury's birth date. :D
Actually I had to read your reply several times before it sank in. You are saying that Ann Ledger, d/o Henry may have first married Thomas Heptonstall, and Thomas H died 1801.
So Thomas Maybury (widower) and Ann Ledger (widow) have married.
WOW. Thank you so much.
I'd still like to find the marriage record though. Would Ann have remarried as Ledger or Heptonstall?
Arabella Barlow's parents Thomas and Rebecca (Green) both died at Kilnhurst and I have their burial dates.
Thank you so much for the information
