Thanks, I only subscribe to ancestry at present,

Just to update everyone who helped who may be interested

From Mary Ann Cresswell/George Cooper's marriage certificate

Mary Ann ANDO Creswell (so it is her), her father is down as Robert Ando Cresswell, a fishmonger
George's father is Robert Cooper, a farmer


From the 1854 birth cert Mary Ando, born Somerset Street Brynmawr on 25th September to Robert Ando and Ann Ando nee Hawkins

[iolaus]

I believe Mary Ann's father is the Robert Ando who was baptised 1816 in Cannington, Somerset - the illegitamate son of Mary Handeo, so potentially his father may have been a Cresswell?

Its excellent you got the Certs and looks like now a lot of it is now confirmed

[trish1120]

Yes it is possible that Roberts Father was a Cresswell.

Looking FreeREG ther is a JOHN/SARAH Hando/Handeo baptising children in Cannington when Mary had Robert.

On Census this John was born c 1778 Spaxton, Somerset.
He married Sarah SILK 22 Aug 1803 Canningron.

Possible Brother of Mary?

Outside chance for a Marriage for Mary??

13 September 1819, Bristol, Bristol, England
Mary HANDOE to John COTTLE

Will see what I can find re the Cottles find but Robert married Ann 1836 in Bristol.

From Genuki;
"HIGH LITTLETON, a parish in the hundred of Chewton, county Somerset, 8 miles S.W. of Bath, its post town, and 10 S.E. of Bristol***. The parish includes the hamlet of Hallatrow. A large proportion of the people are employed in the collieries.

Aaah found a site with Records for High Littleton;
http://www.highlittletonhistory.org.uk/registers.html

Quite a few Dando entries there including;
1792 Jun 17 Mary d John DANDO & Isset


Just a possible scenario but hard to confirm if it is your Mary, Mother of Robert.

EDIT Baptism entry is also on FreeREG and John/Issets Marriage 1789

Scrap that as Mary 1793 must have died as they Bapt another Mary 1798

May help someone else in the future but looks like Mary Cottle is not yours
