Also a request for Polly Prior

On 1851 census in Woodstock with aunt Letitia. (The name is written as FORIS 2nd family down) This is a mistake.

Birth 1869 Woodstock

Again I can find no birth/no marriage on FREEBMD and she disappears.

Polly can be a nickname, often for either Mary or Dorothy

Is it possible that Polly is Mary Ann Prior possible daughter of James & Harriett PRIOR

As Mary Ann has about 10 siblings all with James Edward b 1841 as their father I am assuming that he is the father of Mary Ann PRIOR Hemmings conceived before he married Harriet!

I have her birth certificate with no father named.

Dorothy Mary Prior. Now there's another can of worms. Her father was actually William Henry Horn.

I have her birth certificate and a baptism with the name HORN!

I had a nightmare tracking her down until mum found the baptism card.

She always believed that her mums maiden name was PRIOR.

Are you still following.

Do you think then that Mary Ann Prior HEMMINGS is Polly PRIOR from 1891 census with her Aunt Letitia Prior ?

Not unheard of - I had an aunt who I knew as Aunty Polly - she was actually Mary.
