Title: James Symonds 1841
Post by: bobtonks on Thursday 31 July 25 17:47 BST (UK)
On 1st November 1867 James Symonds married Ann Maria Pamenter at Swaffham Prior, Newmarket.

Can anyone identify her parents ?

Marriage cert is online  - 2 of the witnesses are same surname.  Have you looked for a birth reg or earlier census

What is her birthyear & birthplace on the 1871 census

Edit

Freebmd shows surname as PaRmenter

In 1881 her age is recorded as 31 years (1850) and in 1891 , 42 years (1849)

And where was she born?  Have you looked for her on earlier censuses?   Have you checked freebmd for a birth reg?

See my reply - witnesses to marriage were same surname

Could be this birth, no mother's maiden name given, so probably unmarried

Name:                                     Mother's Maiden Surname:
   PAMMENTER, MARIA        -     
GRO Reference: 1848  D Quarter in THE NEWMARKET UNION  Volume 14  Page 92

She's with her grandparents in 1851

I can't see the marriage certificate. What are the full names of the witnesses?

Post by: CaroleW on Thursday 31 July 25 18:06 BST (UK)
You can find her on the 1851 as Pamenter aged 2 & as Pamenter in 1861 aged 9

I found Ann age 2 living with her Grandparents, Samuel and Elizabeth in Swaffham Prior
and age 12 still living with them in 1861 ... transcribed as "Paineter" in FindMyPast

I couldn't find Ann aged 9 years in 1861.

Would suggest one of the daughters was her mother.  One has a 9 year old Parmeter with her on the next census.

Have you looked for births on the GRO yet?

Birth given in earlier reply on previous page. Easily found on freebmd

Nothing obvious on GRO or Freebmd

1861 age 12 - not 9 (typo - sorry) but still easily found in 1861 if you follow the 1851 entry

If you check out the other grandchildren on the 1851 using GRO online you will find 2 more were illegitimate

Equally you could download her twin brothers birth record to establish mother's christian name.
