Very many thanks. I have been given, from GenesReunited, several options for Mary's parents and your names for Mary's parents are new to me. My Mary married George Reader on 9.3.1839 at age 21 and the certificate names James Snare, bricklayer of Brandon as her father; witnesses were Coulny Savomy and Mary Ann Reader, who were step father and mother of Mary's husband George Reader. So not sure how this ties in with your info for Mary's father as being Josiah. Other possible names of Mary's parents that I have been given are James Snare/Mary Spurden who also had a Mary in 1808 but I think died hence my Mary in 1818 may be a possible but again I have to check substantively. The IGI ref for Mary Snare's birth in 1818 in Brandon and christening at Weslyan Church fits with my Mary as parents named as James and Mary Snare but I have not seen the original. I would be extremely interested to see any other info that you have. Best regards
