Her parents were John Hannaford PROWSE b. abt 1830, Devon, a carpenter
& Mary BLATCHFORD b. abt 1833 Harberton Devon

They were married 14th April 1853 at Harberton. (got certificate)

I found the following... but do not have access to the records.

London, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1906
Name .. Date .. Parent Names
Kate Prowse .. date .. John Hanneford Prowse & Mary Prowse

Mary (b.1867) travelled to Australia , 15th Sept 1889.

I have not been able to find this family on ANY census records.

Each time that I think I find them, as I follow them through the census I realise that I am following the wrong family !

Very frustrating.

Please, please can someone help me.

Thank you Dea.

I wonder why she was first baptised while in the hospital.

May be 'they' thought that she might not survive ??

I think that I will just have to give a "general" thank you to everyone, you are all posting faster than I can express my thanks.

Has anyone had any luck finding census records.

I can't find the census that Choccy put up either, even with the RG10, 1336 folio 47 page5 on Ancestry.

Could be, Choccy

However she is listed as "Mary A' and on my Mary's birth certificate there is not a middle name. ???

Do you know who John's parents were please?

She was baptised Mary Ann, so Choccy's 'find' could well be correct? :
