I am trying to tidy a loose end in a twig of our family tree. There are marriages of three Mary BREWSTERs listed in the Uppingham registration district for 1888.
I am interested in this one:
Mary BREWSTER m Charles LIQUORISH Uppingham 7a 571 (4th qtr 1888)
Does anyone have access to the local parish records?
If I am right, this Mary was born in 1868 in Lyddington, the daughter of Henry Brewster and Amy Waterfield - therefore marriage in Lyddington perhaps. If correct as well, the marriage was a tragically short lived one as a Mary LIQUORISH died, registered in Uppingham in the 4th quarter 1890. It may have been the result of pregnancy or childbirth
Many thanks for your help

The Mary Dexter from the marriage in q1 1888, Uppingham appears to have married Job Dexter. Census has her birth as 1867, Lyddington

She would certainly have returned to Upingham after the marriage. There is a record of a child call Mary born in 1889.
If indeed this Mary is the one born in Lyddington, it brings together an almost unbelievable chain of events - how an assumed maternal side aunt from my childhood turned out to be nothing of the kind but ended up being a distant aunt on my father's side

The Mary Ann Brewster who married Joshua Chesterton (q3 1888) was born 1865, Lyddington ???

A quick look at the FreeBMD birth indexes for Uppingham 1867/68 show:
2 x Mary
7a 274 (1st qtr 1867) <- ? the one who married Dexter
7a 281 (3rd qtr 1868) <- ? the one who married Liquorish
2 x Mary Ann
2 x Mary Elizabeth

Census for the Mary Brewster you are researching (daughter of Henry and Amy) records her birth as c.1869 as per 1871 and 1881.
This would appear to be her birth -
Mary Brewster
q3 1869, Uppingham, Rutland
Vol 7a Page 279

Yes, I wondered about that too. However, the record of Mary Liquorish's death in 1890 says she was aged 22
Why couldn't the Brewsters have kept a "lottery pot" and called their offspring by different names. Lyddington is a pretty small place and I'm sure the families were related back two or three generations
I guess I will have to wait for the marriage and death certificates to be absolutely certain.

Well, problem solved. She was the daughter of John J Brewster and Elizabeth Wignell. She was born in Lyddington in 1869.
The marriage took place at All Hallows Church, Seaton on November 26th 1888 witnessed by her brother William and his sister Lily
Sadly she died of complications following childbirth on October 25th 1890 - I haven't been able to identify a birth registered around that time and no child appears in later censuses. Maybe the pregnancy ended in a stillbirth.

Looking at the other two Marys who married in Lyddington, I have come up with the following:
From Page 72 of the Parish Register:
Mary Ann Brewster (aged 24) married Joshua Chesterton on August 27th 1888. She was the daughter of Thomas Brewster (deceased). Given the family line, her mother was Jane Skelhorne (sometimes surname reduced to Skellum!) She was baptised on October 17th 1864. Her father had died in 1875.
Turn back a page (Page 71) we have:
Mary Brewster (aged 20) married Job Dexter on January 17th 1888. The space for her father's name is left blank. This girl (also a Mary Ann) was the illegitimate daughter of Sarah Ann Brewster and was baptised on March 24th 1869. Sarah Ann was the daughter of William Brewster and Mary Tay(i)lor. Sarah Ann also had a son, Harry, in 1871. She subsequently married Thomas White in 1873.
Baptismal dates also from the Parish Registers on FindMyPast
