What happened to Mary Ann Purchall christened 1800 Poplar

[katlady]

Mary Ann Purchall was christened at St Mary Church, Poplar on 1 1 1800. Her father was William Purchall and mother Jane.  Can not find any record of her, hoping someone can help with a link.

She was actually born 1 Jan 1800 and christened 9 Feb 1800

But I can't see anything else definite for her. The spelling variations of the surname make it difficult

She married a Thomas Adshead on 6 August 1822 at St Stephen's Walbrook.

"Aug. 6 Thomas Adshead & Mary Ann Purchell. B., by J. W. Wit. : William
Bagshaw, Mary Clark, Elizabeth Bradly"

Per the announcement in the Oxford Journal for 17 August 1822 (page 4) she was Mary Ann Purchall of Bromley, Middlesex (Bromley St Leonard being the part of Poplar where she was baptised). 

The marriage register is viewable on a popular subscription site which has transcribed her name as Burchell.

Hello ShaunJ,

Just wanting to send a huge thankyou for posting this information, it will be a huge help in discovering what happened to Mary.   Unfortunately I have only just found this message so there has been a long delay in getting back to you.  Thanks again, will start researching this branch again, Katlady

Hello everyone,
It has been awhile since I posted this query and have to admit that thanks to other members I now know that Mary Ann married Thomas Adshead in 1822 at St Stephens, Walbrook.  Also that she died in 1839 and Thomas in 1840. Because they both died before the 1841 census it has been difficultto see if there eree any children from this marriage before they died. Does anyone have any suggestions,  Katlady

You could try the new GRO index for births which now show the mother's maiden name although I did do a quick search but didn't come up with anything.
Have you tried FreeReg and familysearch.org?

Hi, 
Thanks for that information, will try GRO Index. Have found a potential child, Mary Ann Adshead born 1838 in Whitechapel.  There is also a death of Mary Ann Adshead Dec Qtr 1839 in Whitechapel and not sure if this is mother or child. I had assumed it was Mary Ann Adshead nee Purchall as I couldnt find any record of her in 1841 census but then I cant find the one born in 1838 either. Family search doesnt give parents names on birth registration so no luck there.
Will wait for GRO certificate to arrive and keep fingers crossed that she is connected.

Hello,

Had a go at GRO Index and had no luck with Mary Ann Adshead born 1838, not my Mary Ann's child.
The death of Mary Ann in 1839 turned out to be neither of them. Now I am more curious, what has happened to Mary Ann and Thomas Adshead after marriage
