Hello again. Can anyone locate the parents of John FORD b. 1809 or 1810, probably in Sampford Courtenay, or less likely in Honeychurch. Any other details would be very helpful to my researches. :) :)

You cannot believe how pleased I am with your reply - I have been searching for an answer that makes senses for nearly 5 years, with hours on line, several visits to the GRO, and paid for searches. Then you come up trumps in an hour!! Thanks a million.    :) :) :)

The Common Room / Widow's naming convention ~1870 COMPLETED
« on: Wednesday 13 May 09 09:02 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone tell me what the naming convention was in the 1870s for widows on their marriage certificates for subsequent marriages. Were they obliged to use their maiden names, their surname from their prior marriage, or could they choose?
This could unlock the mystery of the final  great great grandparents in my family tree. Thanks for your help.

Devon Completed Lookup Requests / MOGRIDGE from Paignton b. about 1850 COMPLETED

Can anyone help me locate Mary Jane Mogridge's parents, or any other information about Mary Jane. I have exhausted all other sources that I know of - with no joy. She married Thomas Ford of Sampford Courtney and lived in London from 1891 onwards, giving her place of birth as Paignton.  The 1871 census turns up a Mary Jane Mogridge as a domestic servant in Torquay, but then the trail goes cold.  I would be so grateful for either solutions or suggestions.
