Title: the wares of devonshire
Post by: lucretia666 on Monday 11 May 20 13:26 BST (UK)
Hi Guys,

Please could someone do a look up for me?

John Ware (could be spelled Were) (born 1807 Kingsnympton, Somerset) married Mary (born 1816 Wicklewood, Somerset)
They had 10 children the first being born in 1846.
I Have found one marriage, but it has two marys listed. I would love to find out which is the correct mary.
I have looked for both births of the marys but cant seem to find either of them.
Maybe a pair of fresh eyes could help?
Many thanks in advance guys and gals

Have you looked for the childrens birth registrations on the GRO index as they should give mothers maiden surname

Look up the birth registrations of any of the children on freebmd then use GRO online to find maiden name

JAMES Ware
Baptism 7 May 1842, Brompton Regis, Somerset
Parents JOHN/MARY

I think you will find John/Mary already married in 1841 Census

No problem we all have our moments.

GRO has Mothers maiden names for Birth Reg;

This is James;
WARE, JAMES mothers maiden name SOUTHWOOD*** 
GRO Reference: 1842  J Quarter in TIVERTON AND DULVERTON  Volume 10  Page 260

So its the March 1841 Marriage you want reg Tiverton :)

26 Mar 1841
Upton, Somerset, England
Mary SOUTHWOOD, a Minor, Spinster, Servant, Father BENJAMIN a Labourer*** CORRECTION Father SAMUEL***
John WARE, Full Age, Bachelor, Labourer, Father JOHN a Labourer
John/Mary both made their mark

I need to research more but John may have remarried another Mary before 1851 Census.

WARE, JOHN mmn SOUTHWOOD 
GRO Reference: 1846  M Quarter in TIVERTON AND DULVERTON  Volume 10  Page 289


WARE, ELIZABETH mmn SOUTHWOOD 
GRO Reference: 1844  M Quarter in TIVERTON AND DULVERTON  Volume 10  Page 276

WARE, SARAH  ANNE mmn   EVANS****** 
GRO Reference: 1850  J Quarter in TIVERTON  Volume 10  Page 271

Back soon to tie up my theory :)

Marriage Reg March 1849
Tiverton    10   435
Evans Mary       
Ware    John

Death Reg;
WARE, MARY age 26**** 
GRO Reference: 1848  M Quarter in TIVERTON AND DULVERTON  Volume 10  Page 221
(birth c 1822**)

What made me research this is that 1851 Mary Ware is born c 1815 Wiveliscombe, Somerset.

So if she was nee Southwood she would not be a Minor at Marriage in 1841.

So II checked all the children on 1851 Census for their Mothers mn  :)
