Looking for Mary Ann Barbery
« on: Saturday 06 June 09 06:38 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I was wondering if someone could help me track down a Mary Ann Barbery. Mary Ann was born in Mevagissey, Cornwall in 1871 and married William James Forse in 1898. I've found her in the 1901 census, but can't find her in the 1911 census index. There is no mention of her in the 1923 will of William James Forse. I've looked in FreeBMD and can't find a death for her. I was wondering if they may possibly have divorced.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Jane.

Hi,
Where is she living in 1901 census? has she a child?

In 1911 census can you find William Forse and is he married?

Hi Charlotte,

William and Mary Ann were living in Clapham, London in 1901 along with 4 of Mary Ann's siblings. She and William had a child who died in infancy in 1898. I've found William in the 1911 census index plus the children from his first marriage, but no Mary Ann.

Hi Jane,
If William J  is the one  living at Park Crescent ,Clapham, Wandsworth in 1911 he is a widower.He is aged 60, born in Kingston on Thames and a Fitters mate in a Tram Depot.
 That said, I can t find an obvious death on freebmd for Mary 1901 to 1911 either.
Best wishes

Hi Cathy,

Thanks for that! It definitely sounds like my William James Forse. :) Maybe I need to check the microfiches of the St Catherines House indexes at the library to find out what happenened to Mary Ann.

"widower" - indeed!  ::)

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/ shows Mary Ann Forse, petitioning for divorce against William James Forse, in 1909.  It usually took about 18 months to go through. The case file should have some interesting details!
