We need some clue as to her birthyear so how old was she when she died?

Did she die before or after the 1841 census?

If after - is she shown as born in or out of county on the census entry

[whdsn]

she was born about 1816 on the 1841 census = ho107 piece 141 folio 57 page 14.
 she was buried 21 nov 1841 in st buryan

[CaroleW]

Have you checked Family Search?  Her birthyear could be anything between 1812-1816 as you don't say how old she was when she died to help narrow it down

Also - you don't know exactly whereabouts in Cornwall she was born

FS has a number of entries but only one if you specify St Buryan but christian name is Maria- have you checked it?

Cornwall  OPC  has  her age  as  26   on the burial  info 

[CaroleW]

Thanks Jan - that helps to narrow it down

FS has 6 possible entries for an 1815 birth but no way of knowing which is the right one

[whdsn]

I see one of the witnesses was a nanny simons i will try looking for her

Not sure if this is relevant, but.....

1841 HO107/141/20/14
Alsia, St Buryan
John Simmons 60 agricultural labourer bic
Jane Simmons 65 bic
Alice Simmons 15 bic

there are 3 births registered to a John & Jane on Cornwall opc
William 18/12/1814 residence: Trevedran
Thomas 11/5/1817 residence: Trevedran
Alice 28/4/1822 residence: Alsia

 the only Mary i've found with these parents was baptised in Paul in 1792, which is about 4 miles away

Hi this could be Mary's husband family.
The trouble I'm having is with the surnames clashing - Simon's, Simmons, Symon's, semmens and semmons
