John Looking in the 1851 census Jemima's birthplace is given as Shimpling, Suffolk, and the eye of faith can also see that that was what the 1881 enumerator has written. In the 1861 census in the Stanhope family (Jemima's maiden name apparently) we find Jemima LAWS, daughter33 born Suffolk and two lines later is Mary A LAWS a 3 month old granddaughter born in Middlesex, London. Not proof positive but I think this shows that Mary was Jemima's daughter. Mary Ann Selina LAW's birth was registered in Q1 of 1861 in Marylebone district 1a 453.
