Yes, I misremembered when I replied. I have that too in the Wikitree entries I created.

Shropshire / Re: FOULKES Shropshire

Hi,
I'm not related. I'm looking into the Meyricks in Shropshire for my own tree. I've been going through all the ones I can find to see how they link up. In doing so I came across Thomas Foulkes, step-son of a Richard Meyrick and followed that line just for fun.

I've discovered one possibility for Mary's first husband. In 1839 a Thomas Foulkes married a Mary Williams in Montgomery https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/information.pl?cite=rwha3MQGYm3R8tZX7w0o3g&scan=1
Wikipedia
Several Thomas Foulkes died between 1839 and 1849 in Shropshire, but I don't see enough information on Free BMD to confirm anything, so it could still all be a red herring. I couldn't find much on Ancestry either.

Hi,
I've been wading through Meyricks in Shropshire and putting them into WikiTree (free). I came across Mary Meyrick with her son Thomas Foulkes and followed this through. I did a little more than I might have done because one of my searches found this story so there's a few entries for the Foulkes.
Mary was 20 when she gave birth to Thomas so I suspect she was married previously. I did try looking in Free BMD for Marys that married a Foulkes in Shropshire. If any of the Foulkes who married a Mary died before 1849 (when Mary married George Meyrick) it would be a strong clue. It is also possible Mary had a child "out of wedlock" since I've come across this once or twice with my ancestors.
Here's the WikiTree link to Mary Meyrick - you can look at her descendants.
