	I am trying to find out more information on Mary Ann Wadham who married Seth Thompson probably in the Shaftesbury area of Dorset. Seth was my great grandfather and I can trace his side of the family but Mary is a mystery. They ended their lives living on Portland, Dorset. Seth was born in Motcombe in Dorset in 1868 and presumably Mary was born around the same time, Can anyone help me.
