DOVEY Mary Ann: Born 1841 Axbridge.Marriage lookup please.

[griffithsjenkins12]

Can anyone help tracing the husband of Mary Ann?
I am having real problems with this one I  have found her on the follwing census details:

1841 (HO107/967/1 Folio 12 Page 17)  Axbridge
1851 (HO107/1937 Folio 156 Page 19)
1861 ( RG9/1674 Folio 71 Page 11)
1871 (RG10/2463 Folio 15 Page 14)
1881 (RG11/2422 Folio 77 Page 11)
1891 (RG12/1922 Folio 8 Page 9)
1901 (RG13/2327 Folio 13 Page 18)

She is listed in 1861 as a "soldiers wife" but by 1871 is widowed.
Any ideas as to when/ where he could have been killed or a marriage certificate would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

Your 1861 reference shows a Dovey family but the Mary Ann you refer to is their lodger aged 51 and her surname is Badman - not Dovey.   

However - in 1871, the same Mary Ann Badman has dropped 21 yrs and is aged 30 with 3 children aged 14, 11 & 8

So you are presumably looking for a marriage between Mary Ann Dovey and ?? Badman and a male Badman death between 1862-1871


Per freebmd http://freebmd.rootsweb.com

Many thanks that has been driving me crazy!
However it now trows up a slight problem.
Mary Ann Dovey has a child on the 1881 census (ref as before) who is called Lilly BADMAN born in 1875. this is not possible...did she maybe marry another badman and if so when? I do have her death certificate which shows her as age 75 when she died in 1950. also if relevant the informant is henry J Badman (brother) of high street gilfach goch, glamorganshire.

Hi

The 1881 also has a 9mth old Harry Badman but freebmd has no birth entry for a Lilian Badman b 1874-1876

Births September qtr 1880   
 
Badman  Henry James     Axbridge  5c 558   
Badman  Henry James     Axbridge  5c 557

I have checked the full GRO index and there are 2 entries for this birth as above

The 1891 shows them as Mary's son & daughter plus she has daughter Kate and a grandson Charles Edward living with her

A copy of Henry's birth cert will show whether they are Mary's illegitimate children or the children of her older daughters

Many thanks
I have sent for the marriage certificate but still having trouble locating a birth reference for Lilian May Badman in 1875

will let you know how I get on!
