I have at long last arrived at :-

Births Sep 1856
Merchant Mary Ann Stoke Damerel 5b 289

but Stoke Damerel seems only to be a district and not a real place.
Does the 1861 census for Mary show where she was born and who her parents were please?

Many thanks,
Frances

Thank you Julia, Valerie and Pete, you have done me proud there and now its decision time! In 1881 she puts Devonport as her place of birth that would tie in with a father working in the dockyard.

Frances

did she give her father's name when she married?

Thank you Julia, I wonder why I cannot see it on the map??

Pete - I am doing this search for somebody else and haven't got as far as certificates.

Valerie, thanks again. Her first child is born Torpoint and her husband came from Antony so that all ties in very well
