I would say Mary Ann's maiden name was Townsend as on the 1901 census she is down as mother.

Many thanks Catherine and K
no luck on the marriage of James & Mary Ann or her maiden name

again thanks Rhona

...................the birth certificate for Edwin would help as that would give you his mother's maiden name, but I can't even see that?

I think this is their second child -

Births Sep 1850 (>99%)
Forskett Ann Jane Bedford 6 41

Here she is in 1861:-

Hello there Maureen :-D
What a team!
Just goes to show how you have to follow the whole family through the census records in the hope of picking up a clue somewhere along the way.

I was thinking Edwin was illegitimate too but had to stop to put the dinner on as hubby has just arrived home.
Well done!

If this is Mary Ann's marriage:-

Marriages Mar 1844 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DARLOW Mary Ann Bedford 6 69
HART George Bedford 6 69

.............then that is probably why we can't find her marriage to James!

Hi Catherine,

At least there WAS a clue!!! Heck, all I had to do was sit back and wait while you and K found all the info!! ;-) ;-)

Here's the Mary Ann who married George Hart:-
