Mary Ann Brill of Reading
« on: Saturday 23 January 16 18:51 GMT (UK) »
I’m trying find a baptism record for Mary Ann Brill born in Reading (St Mary), age given as 11 on the 1841 census, so birth year probably 1829/30.  Parents are Charles, a labourer, and Mary Brill.

Mary Ann is on the 1851 census, age given 21, so again birth year probably 1829/30, working as a servant in Reading St Mary.  She marries Isaac Mander in February 1859 at St Michael, Coventry when her age is recorded as 27, ie birth year 1832.  I believe this is the “right” Brill as her father’s name is shown as Charles Brill.

She appears on the 1861 census in Marton, Warwickshire, as age 28, birth year 1833, birthplace Reading, Berkshire.  In 1871 she appears as just Mary (no Ann), is age 37, birth year 1834, and in 1881, again just Mary she is age 47, birth year again 1834. 

She dies in 1882, registered at Warwick RD in Q3, where her age at death is given as 50, so birth year 1831/32.  There is also a burial record for her at Marton for September 1882.

There is a surfeit of Marys/Mary Anns/Mariannes in this family (and a pretty good run of Jameses) so I’d like to pin down this one’s birth, if only to help avoid confusion.

Any input gratefully received.

Thank you so much Jackie for tracking her down.  This Mary Ann is my gg grandmother and marries into the Mander family but she has a sister-in-law, Mary Anne Mander, who was also born in 1829.  I already have Mary Anne's baptism record so keeping the two of them separate should be easier now.

Yes, she did have a sister, Harriett, age 8 on the 1841 census, so birth year 1833 (or possibly late 1832), plus an older brother James ::) age 15 in 1841.  They are both on my "to do" list . . .

I appreciate your help :)

Mary Ann Brill was my Great Grandmother. You can find information about her on Shamrockspider genealogy. All the best. Tony.
