Hi All,
I have spent several frustrating months trying to find out the background of my paternal Gt Grandmother! We know her name was Mary Ann Austin as I have the birth certificate for my Grandmother Clara Gaunt, which lists her mother as 'formerly Austin'.
She was Mary Ann Austin b. 1862 in Kirkstall. She is listed as Mary A on the 1901 census b. Kirkstall and on the 1891 census born in Bradford as Mary A. and under her married name Gaunt in both. She married John Gaunt in 1881, in Bradford in the Jun quarter.
There is a listing for a Mary Ann Gaunt in the 1881 census (she only married in 1881, so it would depend on when the census was conducted), but she is at the house of an Uncle named Hargreaves and John Gaunt is absent and at the house of his brother for that census. Or there is a Mary A. Austin listed on the same census at the house of an uncle named Lunn.
I have no idea who her father was although, my parents had assumed he was named William, but on refelction say they have no real data to base that on. Could someone please help me track her? I have access to Ancestry, but can find no trace of her before her marriage. I can't find a death listing either, but my Dad says she died in Bradford circa 1937. Any help will be gratefully received!
kind regards
Jill

Jill,
Looking at the Yorkshire BMD's http://www.yorkshirebmd there is a birth for a Mary Ann Austin born in Kirkstall in 1861. But I can't find it on FreeBMD or the index at thegenealogist.. strange
