New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Sophia Mabey
« on: Tuesday 22 December 15 20:06 GMT (UK) »
Hello
I have done quite a lot of research on the Mabey family and have an extensive family tree of the family collected from contacts over the years. My connection to this family is through my mother's mother's mother Alice Maud Mabey.
Sophia CROOM, baptised 13 Feb 1830 in Branscombe, Devon, England is the illegitimate dau of Harriet CROOM, the father is supposed to be Ellis Bartlett DEAN, a Blacksmith.
Harriet did not marry Charlie MABEY until 11 Aug 1837 after he had come to Devon from Dorset. He was a Flax Merchant, and there was a big rope-making industry in that area at the time.
Sophia does not appear in the Branscombe 1851 census but may have married by then.
A contact from the DEAN family checked all her sources and could not find any trace of Sophia amongst their family either.
