Joyce as I read it
Priscilla's Mum was Mary Ann Unknown, possibly born Hawkins or could be something else & married Hawkins.
Gave birth to Charlotte c1855 & Priscilla c1861 then married George Childs in 1870
Do you have Priscilla's birth cert as this should show Dad's name & Mum's maiden name

Hope this helps

I think this is the one that you are looking at

Looks like either Mary Ann married twice or Priscilla was a base

Kathleen,

I was just wondering the same thing about that marriage.

1881 There is this entry
Name: Frederick Key
Age: 23
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1858
Relation: Gunner
Gender: Male
Where born: Inkberrow, Worcestershire, England

Civil Parish: Portsea
County/Island: Hampshire
Country: England

Street address: "Royal Marine Artilry Brks" Eastney (8th Co)
Education:

Employment status: View Image
Occupation: Gunner R M Artillery

Registration district: Portsea Island
Sub-registration district: Landport
ED, institution, or vessel: Royal Marine Artillery Barracks

This is strange - I wonder if Priscilla married twice because there is this page of marriages on FreeBMD:-

Louisa Carter 1881 Apr-May-Jun Portsea Island (1837-1900) Hampshire

>>>Priscilla Hawkins 1881 Apr-May-Jun Portsea Island (1837-1900) Hampshire

George James 1881 Apr-May-Jun Portsea Island (1837-1900) Hampshire

>>>Frederic Key 1881 Apr-May-Jun Portsea Island (1837-1900) Hampshire

I wonder if she married Frederic Key before marrying John - or perhaps this is just a coincidence?
