Dear List, I have researched my own family in Lincolnshire (and adjacent counties) for over 40 years, and have been into Genealogy by DNA for over a dozen years. Today I am trying to help a close relative get more information about her grandmother and great gandmother - the latter giving her place of birth in the 1881 census as Taunton, Somerset. The line back to the grandmother is sorted - she was Annie Jane PAVEY, birth registered July 1870 by mother Mary Anne PAVEY in Marylebone. No father recorded, so Annie was illegitimate. I can't find Annie or Mary Anne in the 1871 Census. There was a Mary Anne in Taunton, but there were two Mary Anne's registered there (FreeBMD) and I doubt this is the family member I need to confirm. In the 1881 census Annie was in a boarding school in Mitcham aged 10. Her mother - this time Mary Jane PAVEY - was living with the family of the Head of Dulwich College (Camberwell) as a cook, aged 26, born Taunton, Somerset. I can't find her in later Census Returns, so perhaps she married and had further family. It is known that this family funded Annie's schooling, and paid out as she was brought up. How they connect to the paternity situation remains unknown. Has anyone researched the PAVEYs in the Taunton district? Can anyone help with the identification of Mary Anne/Jane above? Thank you for reading. Rex
Hi, If Mary Anne/Jane was remotely accurate in her age and place of birth , there are two Taunton births registered, one Mary Anne in June 1852 which would seem too early , and one Mary Jane also Taunton in the March 1/4 of 1858 which is a bit late for a birth c 1855 , no Mary or Mary Anne/Jane in between June 1852 and Dec 1857 in Somerset . life is hard . soften it with a cat \\\=^..^=/// ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rex Johnson" <rex1937@gmail.com> To: <ENG-SOMERSET@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 03, 2013 2:25 PM Subject: [ENG-SOM] Mary [Anne or Jane] PAVEY mid 1800s > Dear List, > I have researched my own family in Lincolnshire (and adjacent counties) > for over 40 years, and have been into Genealogy by DNA for over a dozen > years.
