Aah, shall sleep better knowing that is sorted, mind you, at this rate we'll have nightmares! :)) Chris :)

Chris thank you for that, helpful as ever. Don't know why I didn't take my own advice and google! Yes, Mary Joyce was Katherine Isenschmid(t)s mother. Poor woman. Mad husband who was at one time a murder suspect, lots of children to raise, only son dies at age of 22.... Glad she's not a blood relative or I'd be feeling very upset. nell

Hold on Nell! :)) so this Mary Ann Joyce was that Katherine's Mum then?.... Chris :) (just making sure I'm following!)

Hello Nell, Eastwick and Gilston look to be between Sawbridgeworth Herts, High Easter very near,and Essex underneath! :)) Shalford a little way over near Braintree. Have a look on Google at Hertfordshire Genealogy, it says Gilston and Eastwick are adjacent, good site! :) Chris :)

Sue Thanks for those, I will have a look. I'm wondering if this is her in 1851 >>>Mary Joyce abt 1842 Shalford, Essex, Daughter scholar but I can't find Shalford near High Easter or any place resembling Gilston/Gelston!!!!! Knowledge of Essex very scanty. Don't even know why I am looking for Mary, she's the mother of the 2nd wife of my great-grandfather Charles and a) she's not a blood relative and b) allegedly she was nasty to my grandfather!!!! nell

Can't find her before 1861 1861Mary Ann Joyce abt 1837 High Easter, Essex, Servant High Easter Essex [not sure this is her] 1867 Marriage St Luke, Islington, Mary Ann Joyce and Jacob Isenschmid 1871Mary Ann Isenschmich abt 1841 Gilston, Essex, Wife 1881Mary Isemchmid abt 1840 Gelston, Essex, Wife 1891 Mary Isenschmidt head married 50 b.Essex Eastwick 1901Mary Isenschmid abt 1841 Eastwick, Essex, Wife M 60 Genuki doesn't have Gilston or Gelston or Eastwick in its pages. There's a very isolated East Wick on the coast. I've found two possible registrations in Dunmow reg district for 1843 and 1844 and Dunmow includes Great and Little Easton as well as High Easter. Any ideas?
