I,ve found her c 14-3-1813 Wigton. She was Martha Barnes. Father Robert Barnes. Mother Jane Barnfather. She married Amos Askew on 31-8-1836. Amos was born <1782>. This would make him a lot older (<31 years>) than Martha? In the 1871 Census Mary was visiting her daughter Jane (who had married Thomas Irvin on the 8th June 1850 in Wigton.) The other visitor was Mary,s grandaughter Mary Jane Elizabeth Pearson Age 19 who was born in Wigton in 1851 to Mary b1829)- the unmarried daughter of Thomas Pearson and Mary Pearson (nee Brougham). I also do most of my family history on the internet and I have not been able to find Mary in the 1881 census? I started by creating my tree on a data base called Family tree Make. It was only later that I joined Genes Re-United and I have part of my tree on there. Could you please tell me your connection with Mary Brougham? Thanks Dave.
