thanks for your info...

A... i have no proof as yet Mary was born in St Helens only seen posting on family search for Mary Martin with right parents..born 1857..also date of death has been added which is correct

B...parents are Henry Martin and Rebecca Martin(nee McEwan)

c..parents ..irish..english..scots...? i dont know

d...Mary moved north sometime and married a John McMunnagil (Irish)in 1876 and from marriage lines ive seen on scotlands ppl..yes both her parents names are correct

e.. on tracing my mums line..i.e McMunnagil..i found Mary... but thats all ive been able to find..even on threads i have on here

f... i treat LDS site with contemp... i beleive if you enter info on search and find person...that info then seems to be added...so i dont take anything i find on that site as cosher or factual... but was only info i found on Mary with right parents...so i followed that line for now and still am till i find different info..loi

g... Scotlands People site allows you (if a member ) to veiw image if avail of BMD certs so seldom need to purchase as info is there to see..unlike English sites that just take membership to give you an index number etc

ill be here or around for a few hours..then im off out...and wont be back till sat evening..and ill try answer any more questions you have

thanks again for info..it wont be discarded but stored aside...till can be backed up or proven wrong

you say "possibly born St Helens"


what makes you think St Helens?


Where else could she have been born?

Where did you get your information from?


Are you indeed sure that her parents are Henry and Rebecca??



If you are sure that her parents are Henry and Rebecca ..... this is the only record that shows up on ancestry for a Mary Martin born ca 1857 +/- 2 years, in Lancashire, with parents Henry and Rebecca.



1861 Census

Name: Mary Martin
Age: 2
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1859

Father's Name: Henry
Mother's Name: Rebecca
Gender: Female
Where born: Great Crosby, Lancashire, England

Civil Parish: Great Crosby
Ecclesiastical parish: Sephton <<<<<< I woudl guess this is SeFton!
County/Island: Lancashire
Country: England

Sub registration district: Crosby


Henry Martin 34 b.ca 1827, Ireland, Brickmaker
Rebecca Martin 31 b.ca 1830, Liverpool
Elizabeth Martin 12 b.ca 1849, Liverpool, Carrier Off in Brickworks
Mary Martin 2

Address:- Liverpool Road, Great Crosby



This is of course the same one that Janice found, and which you have dismissed.


Could you be mistaken ........ in year of birth, and/or in parents???


Don't forget that the age or birth year on a census may be upto TWO years out .................... it all depends on the month in which a person was born and the month in which a census was taken. They were asked for their age ..... and the modern transcribers have then assigned a year to that age.


That is why we usually write a birth year as ca 1857, UNLESS we know the actual birth date from certificate or baptism information.

John

Just one point


don't be surprised if you found something on www.familysearch, the Mormon site, that you hadn't found before


Seemingly, they cycle information in and out ........... so you may find something today, then it won't be on there the next time you want to see it.


As Roy said, you have to be very very wary of SUBMITTED records

............ it is not unknown for the information to have been "massaged" to fit the facts, to say the very least, made up also comes to mind!!

At the very least, such submitted information will not have any backup documentation so you cannot check it.



sylvia
