Carolew, Jacquelineve, Jennifer and Skoosh
Thank you for your prompt replies
Jacquelineve and Carolew have got the right one
In the 1851 census she is in Preston Lancashire with her family
In the 1871 census she is in Exminster lunatic asylum
Calbreath is her married name, her husband was born Tiverton Devon
In the 1861 census her son William age 9 is in the Tiverton workhouse and 2 other children are working locally as servants.
I would appreciate any information covering 1865 to 1891
Many thanks

So are you confirming that she died in 1891 - not 1881 as you originally stated?

That would make her birthyear approx 1826

In 1851 she is Mary Ann Calbrerght b 1826 Lancaster - wife of William

If you are looking for info re: her time in the 2 asylums - presumably her Lancaster records would have been sent with her when she was moved to Exminster

If she is the one one the 1871 census she was born 1838 now the Lancaster Mary is 1826?

William remarries in 1870 and goes on to have a second family.
