I please need help trying to find a surname for Mary born 1831c in Bitton, Glousetershire, Keynsham Parish.She married John Harvey b1826 in about 1844. Census and papers that I have of John Mary and their children only show Mary's name. Any help or pointers please. |

In the 1881 census their eldest daughter Mary Anne was 24 yrs old, make mw think they were married about 1854 as opposed to 1844. |

1881 census shows Mary as being age 50, so i guess she must have been 13 - oh dear!! even though the children born much later.?! |

Lynda, safest and most accurate way to get her name is to get one of the children's birth certificates - very easy to follow the wrong line otherwise. |
