Was going to link this in with previous posts of Mary and family.. will attach link when I find it.
Now.......
What WE have found together is:
Mary (Raven) Patrick born c 1833 -1836 Leicester daughter of Samuel and Catherine.
then a marriage to Edward Rooms in 1855 showing Harriet Rolleston her Aunt (mother of her sister) as witness. And that she was living in Metcalfe Street.
This was a bad marriage by the looks of newspaper reports..
AND she didnt seem to actually live with Edward... cannot find them in any Census Rtns together.
So I then searched for other census returns and though I am sure I have found her previously. I cannot 're' find that ---
Not as far as I can see in any census returns... until the 1871 where she is with her 2nd husband...
or is this a.n.other Mary...
this marriage is to Martin Richardson in 1863....
The 1871 with Martin also shows a Kate Cobley living there... of the correct age - to be her sisters daughter ---Harriet married Fielden Cobley ..
Now Edward Rooms lived with his parents .. all through the census returns.. and died 1871 ish...
so if she did marry a 2nd time then she must either have divorced/annulled or become a bigamist.........................................
So when she married Martin Richardson (I havent sent for the cert - will have to) she was named as Mary Raven PATRICK NOT ROOMS!!!
circles within circles lead to dark holes...
will find the link..
sorry to be a pain x
