I have since found out from Basil Wellard's daughter that the marriage of
John Pearce Wellard to Mary Jane Smith is the correct one. She was born in
1836 to Thomas Smith and Sarah Goddard. Can you add anything to this?
If not, thank you for the rich mine of info you have all gathered.

The Smith name is very difficult to research -but wonder if this could be mary jane Smith? (her p.o.b. is given as St margarets on census)

I've just been looking at Canterbury Baptisms for someone else, & noticed a lot of Wellards there.

I don't know if there is still any interest out there for the Rootchatters but here it goes.
I think that although John Pearce Wellard married Mary Jane Smith in 1856 it is unlikely that she would have had Albert W Wellard, first seen in the 1891 Census (she would have been in her 50's). For that matter, although Fanny Stokes was probably his second wife and the mother of Henry Pearce Wellard, he was a widower by the 1881 Census.
I would like to focus on Fanny Stokes for a moment. Is there any info out there on her? A death cert perhaps?
Also is there anything that may suggest that the randy John Pearce Wellard found time to marry again sometime after 1881?

Ps Still no mention of John Pearce Wellard's wilderness years between 1861-1871?
pps Found out that his mother was a Maria Hogbin. Any info there?

[Scott Thompson]

Sorry Jo
Just saw your entry( I must be more observant!). So it appears that John Pearce or Pierce Wellard married a Mary Wellard soon after the death of Fanny Wellard. Now would that be a case of a Wellard marrying a Wellard? She seems to be the mother of Henry Pearce Wellard.

hi again
Is there a death cert out there for Jane Aylett?
