Eliza was a Durell...(mothers maiden name Becraft)....aged 7 in 1861...they married in 1853
Now............if Mary Ann Becroft/Becraft/Beecroft was a widow when she married Abel Durell
1/ it should state widow on the 1853 marriage cert
2/ she should be findable in 1851 with another Becroft as a husband and at least two children "Abbot" aged 1 and Mary Ann aged 3
3/ her father wouldn't be a Becraft as stated on the marriage cert.............

4/ Abbot the father Abbot the son.............it makes sense and therefore logical that the two older children are his and not Mary Ann's............and Mary Ann's father is a Becraft
