I am trying to trace Mary Ann Spencer born 1825 in Newark in Nottinghamshire. In 1845 she married a William Dalton in Newark but he subsequently died in 1861, she the married a Thomas Spencer in Leicestershire in 1871 but have not been able to trace her after that. Thank you for any help you are able to give

Thank you Maddie , have been clearing out my father in laws house and found a photo saying Mary Ann Dalton on the back The daughter was also called Mary Ann so was not 100% certain who the image was of. Could not find the senior so looked for a remarriage and prior to the marriage a Thomas Spencer had been a lodger so think I am on the right track the photo shows an older woman in Victorian costume so I think it must be the elder

Also the Walter Walton Spencer above was Walter Dalton son of Mary Ann and William Dalton.

Maryb.

So she was born Mary Ann Noble ?

Maddie, that 1881 has a DOB as 1832

Maybe she was a bit economical with her age !

Let's see if we can follow her through the censuses....

Is this her in 1841 living alaone ?

1841


Mary Noble

????

1841 ages were rounded down so she could have been older .

Is this her with first husband and daughter?

Thank you Mike they seem to be the same person but date of birth does vary. Thank you for all this information

Maryann Dalton 23 - Grantham, Lincolnshire
Aaron Dalton 18 - Newarke, Nottinghamshire
Thos Spencer 34 - lodger - Bedworth, Warwickshire
David Wilstone 25 - lodger

Thank you mike the David Wilstone is I believe David Whetstone who became the husband of Mary Ann Dalton jnr

she probably did lose a few years on the 1881 Census ..................... even so, her husband is 5 years younger than her

If she'd told the truth, he would have been at least 11 years younger :-D

Thank you all for your help so far. I have found two possible baptisms for Mary Ann Noble. 1 On 13/05/1825 at St Mary Swineshead with parents Mary and Thomas.2 On 07/08/1823 at Wilton by Lincoln with parents Thomas and Elizabeth Would a marriage certificate help given that the fathers share the same name

probably give you the occupation to cross check
