Brother of Mary Mitchell 1851 census

[Comberton]

The 1844 marriage to Richard John Dennis has her father as William, a shipwright.

[carolgenealogy1970]

That 1844 marriage record for Richard John Dennis confirms his father was William Dennis, Shipwright. Richard was living in Stepney and married Elizabeth Mitchell, daughter of John Mitchell, wool comber. So if you’re tracing Mary (possibly Richard’s sister), and her marriage lists a William Dennis, shipwright, too—that’s a strong match. The Dennis family likely started in Monkleigh, Devon, and moved for shipyard work. That marriage record ties the whole line together nicely!

Thank you for these - I have found further info which confuses/puts doubt into some of the suggestions.

I have Mary Maddick born to Jane Lillicrap 6/1842 Plympton St Mary Union. She'd married Robert Maddick 6/1842. However, MARY ANN Maddick marries William Mitchell in 9/1845.....youngest Mary dies 12/1844??

I have William Henry Mitchell born 6/1850 mmn Lilycrap.

This ties in with the 1851 census where Mary Ann is living with her brother and three children..

Sorry for the error in reply 9.

Is this the only James with mmn Lillicrap? Just trying to link her children when she's in the 1851 censuscas a Mitchell...

Is James Hender Grant linked to Cambridge Street?
