Hello: [Speculative Mode]: I have learnt that there are about 1.477 Trillion Mason in England alone!. There are several options still, but I need to go somewhere, right or wrong, so I am going to aim for Ann Mason dg of Benjamin + Rebecca Moins. Ann Mason bp:30-04-1813 Messingham, had her age recorded in the Wolga ship log 13-05-1837 giving her age as 23 years old (=>1837-23=1814). Ann Mason probably just had her 24th birthday 2 weeks before this event, but she has been at sea for weeks, immigrating, travel documents, passports, a 1 year old baby being sea sick the whole way, husband not with her, leaving her country and home behind, she forgets she has actually just turned 24 years old !!!. It was the last thing on her mind. She is actually 24 years old (bp:1813) when she gives her age to the ship logger as being 23 years old. She gets her dg’s age exactly right which is 7 months away from her birthday maybe December. I am still also sticking to ‘Newbold’ too. It makes some sense that Ann Mason 1813 would come back to Messingham the place her family had lived, and after her parents and 2 siblings died, and would be living with another family being only 10 years old. It would be here she meets William Proctor working at Messingham Common. Ann Mason m:01-06-1835 William Proctor [Witn: Elizabeth Braman Thomas Bingley]: The witnesses here ‘might’ be the persons after whom Ann Mason’s children are named ?, about there, they might have been Ann Mason’s guardians, and they sign the marriage record since Ann’s parents are dead!. By two weeks later, both of the witnesses will be related to Ann Mason in some way, when the witnesses marry. Ann Mason/Proctor dg Elizabeth Proctor is b:11-12-1835 there, and not long after Ann and her dg Eliz. leave for New York harbour. Her husband might have gone before her to get things organized for her arrival. They then had a son Thomas b. Ontario. [ Interestingly enough, Thomas Bingley married firstly to Elizabeth Taylor in Clarborough, Nottinghamshire on the 25-12-1815. Both parties were residents of Clarborough; bachelor / spinster; and the event was witnessed by George Taylor & JOHN DIXON. Banns; with consent of parents. Coincidence or ???]: No, not at all. There has been a constant pattern going to Notts. Clarborough is near Retford (Spittal Hill), and in-between there somewhere is Moorgate Hill. Dixon will be found here and others. Then in Kneesall Notts Ann Jepson m:12-05-1761 George Taylor, he, or about him, might connect to the witness mentioned below [George Taylor] ?. Ann Jepson could be close to Winifred Jepson ?. Harrison, Marshall, Brown, Smith, Dixon, Allison, Taylor, Stephenson, Foster, Walker, Jepson, Harrison, Middleton, Brannan/Brahman//Braman, Proctor, etc. Bart .... === m:01-06-1835 William Proctor Ann Mason [Elizabeth Braman Thomas Bingley].
