Looking for Mair Clarke Marriage in North Devon
« on: Friday 21 December 12 19:56 GMT (UK) »
I would appreciate help in finding details of the marriage between Edward Mair (Mear) to Ann Clarke
before the birth of their first child Elizabeth in 1828. By 1840 their fifth child was born in Chittlehampton, North Devon.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for this information.
In the 1841 Census the five children were Elizabeth, William, Mary, Walter and Thomas.
So presumably both John and John Clark must have died as young children, for although John would have been old enough to have left home by then it's unlikely they would have had named two children John.

Thank you for replying so soon.
I can see that the John Mair who was buried on 21 August 1834 was probably John Clarke Mair.
But is there a third child John Mair (Mare) (Maire) or (Mear) burial in Warkleigh, North Devon between 1824 and 1833, whose age at death relates to a birth in 1824?

no more details available.

If they didn't marry till 1826 then are you sure he was a born a Mair/e?

Can't see a burial that fits of one born 1824 ish.

baptisms

John Clark Mair 27 Jan 1833 Chittlehampholt parish Warkleigh to Edward and Anne fathers occupation-mason
Mary Mair 2 Feb 1835 all same details as above
Elizabeth Maire 1 Aug 1827 same as before
John Maire 24 May 1824 same as before
William Maire 16 Jan 1831

The only baptism I can see that was on 24th May in Warkleigh Chittlehampton was in 1829

John Maire son of Edward ( a mason) and Anne.

And I think the death that I found earlier is him.
Also a John Mare aged 8 mths of the same place buried there on 6th Jan 1830.
