Mary Ann BESS 1822 Ottery St Mary
« on: Wednesday 23 April 08 16:03 BST (UK) »
I am looking for the parents of my ancestor Mary Ann Bess, she was born 1822 in Ottery St Mary, Devon and died 1895 in Crediton, Devon.
She married Samuel Madge (born 1821 Aylesbeare, and died 1905 Chard. Somerset), Devon Mar 1846 in Credtion, Devon.

I would be grateful for any help at all, thank you in advance.

Hi,

I found this on the IGI, but Mary BESS is quite a popular name so it would be a good idea to get her marriage cert. to confirm her father's name.

Mary Ann BESS
Christening:  05 APR 1822   Ottery Saint Mary, Devon
Father:  James BESS
Mother:  Hannah


Other children to this couple can also be found Smiley


With ages over 15 usually rounded down to the nearest 5 years this looks like the family in 1841,


1841  HO107/237/7  f.6  p.6  St Mary Ottery
West Hill

BESS
James      45    Ag Lab 
Hannah   45   
Mary        15     
Harriett     8   
John         5   
George     1                    All born in county*

*Harriett has a tick in this box rather than a Y or N.

Just thought I would let you know that I've just received Mary Ann Bess's marriage certificate and you
were right her Father was Richard.
Thank you very much for your time
