Are you aware that there was a burial in Tintinhul on 1st February 1804 for a Ruth Brown  :-\

ADDED Freereg has a transcript of Mary Browns baptism, it gives her mother as Ruth Brown - no father mentioned

It also has a burial 13 May 1840 for a Ruth Brown age 66

The baptism names her mother as Ruth Brown. No father named.

Thank you for that both of you.
She married James Turner in 1825 and dies in 1860 in Bridgwater.
So it looks like I won't be able to find her father.
Thank you again to both of you.

Are you sure that you have the right Ruth Brown.

Tintinhul registers on freereg have a baptism in 1774 for a Ruth Brown, there is no record on freereg of her marrying in Tintinhull and the 1840 burial would tie in with that baptism age 66.  The 1803 baptism for a Ruth Brown is probably her daughter and the burial the following year could also be that daughter who was born 1803.  There are no other entries in that parish for a Ruth Brown around that time.

Your Ruth Brown / Taylor in 1851 gives her age as 46 and place of birth as Bridgwater

Her first daughter was named Ann Turner 1828

Second Daughter Elizabeth Brown Turner 1835 - giving that child her maiden name could be an

indication of her mother's name.

In 1871 James Turner had a Mary A Pole (widow) lodging with him, is she the same Mary A Pole who witnessed James and Ruth's wedding.  In 1841 Mary is married to George Pole and living in West St, Bridgwater.  There is a marriage in 1814 between an Ann Turner and George Pole so possibly this couple.   

Have you researched James Turner's family.

I did notice a Son of James and Ruth Turner was named Luke.

A LUKE Brown, widower, married Sarah LONG a spinster 8 Nov 1818 St Mary, Bridgwater
1841 he is born c 1796

Just thought Luke not a common name so could be a Brother of Ruth?

Inquests do not normally survive, newspapers are generally the best source of information.

Do you think that you were following the wrong Ruth and her baptism needs further research.
