TREASE/TRAIES continued...

[deb usa]

The nearest Mary Traies I can find is born circa 1764 Crediton d/o William and Mary ...next one is born 1787 ...none in 1774!

That's what I found as well, which is why I wonder if maybe she was a widow

Welcome Chris, and Hello again to Deb and Kerry.

I just thought I would mention that I've just had a look for a Mary Martin on the 1851 census index but could not see her.  I then looked at the deaths on the free BMD site for a Mary Martin from 1841 to 1851.  I found a death registered in Dec 1846 for a Mary Martin in the Exeter Registration District which would have included deaths at Exeter St. David, so this is probably her. 

It's nice to see a bit of activity on this site again.  I haven't really given the TRAIES site a thought this year.  My son had to have an emergency ileostomy (removal of the complete large bowel in February and my daughter-in-law is also not well due to a rare disorder in the functioning of the white cells in the blood.  Geoff and I spent five weeks down in Sussex looking after the grandchildren and Geoff returned again for another two weeks at Easter mainly to do some much needed work in their garden.  My son is now coming on well, regaining lost weight and is pleased to be able to drive again.  It is likely to be another two months or so before he can get back to work.

Bye for now and best wishes

Hi Bernice 

there were a few people living with Mary in 1841;

Agnes Lavercom
John Stone
James Stevens ...

I have checked to see if Mary was any of those surnames amrrying a Trais ...no Luck!

Also, another thing on the 1841 original next to Mary and whether born in county ...there is a stripe in the area for whether born Scotland?ireland etc.... I have notice that those without the stripe are christened in Poughill

Hi Deb and Bernice

Hope your son gets well soon Bernice.

My guess is that Mary married a Trays in Crediton and if she was born 1774 ish she must have married around 1794ish so we need to check out marriages around that time to a Mary and then somehow see if the husband dies before 1797 when she married John Martin. 

Of course it may not be the Crediton area at all....

Had a nother thought in the middle of the night.

As the Pallots marriage index says John was a soldier it would be worth looking to see if there is anything on him on the National Archives site.  Knowing what I got about James Traies and other soldiers since in my tree, there are potentially some brilliant records to be had.

Hey, what can I say, this is just so intersting, thank you all so much. I will sit down with this later today and see where it takes me.

No I believe Mary died before the 1851. The Pallots entry is wonderful.

Thanks so much, will come back when I have studied this up.

Wonderful!!!

Best wishes Chris.

I hope you find it helpful Chris, there seems to be more questions than answers.

If there is anything else we can have a go at searching for let us know
