Hi, struggling a bit with the above, I would like to learn about her parents, I have her wed to John Gowen 1871 but that is it.
Any ideas ??
Thanks.
John

Could this be her on the 1861 census?
Edward Wearn, 30 unmarried, gen labourer b Norwich
Emily Eary, 20, unmarried housekeeper b Holbrook
Mary A Eary, 8 natural daughter b Norwich

Hello Miriamkinga, thanks for that, is it possible to get her parents?
Thanks again
John
-
Do you mean Emily's parents?
-
No my friend, Mary Ann Eary, Mum & Dad but then is Emily a sister too so she may have the same parents.

If that is the correct census entry I have found for 1861 then it would appear that Mary Ann is the natural daughter (illegitimate) of Emily Eary and Edward Wearn.

You don't mention whether you have Mary Ann's marriage certificate from 1871.
If not, here is the entry in the Great Yarmouth registers - you'll see that Mary Ann's father's name has been left blank, suggesting she was illegitimate.

It seems though that Edward Wearn acknowledged she was his daughter, so I'm wondering whether her birth/baptism might be registered in his name.
Bit doubtful about the ages on the census entry though - if Mary Ann was 8 in 1861, and her mother Emily 20, it would mean that Emily was only 12/13 when she gave birth!!

Her marriage on 12/3/1871 St. Nicholas, Gt. Yarmouth to John Gowen, Fisherman, has no father listed for her, confirming illegitimacy. She is also shown as aged 20 when only 17/18.
Her mother Emily appears to be the Amelia Emily Eary bp.6/5/1838 Holbrook, Suffolk, dau. of John and Mary Ann - so, Emily only 15/16 when Mary Ann born.
Edward's surname actually Wenn - Edward Wenn married Amelia Emily Eary Sept.qtr.1864 Norwich but can't find any trace of them after the marriage.

Just checked census - transcript says age 20 image says 22 :)

Thanks Annette7 & Miriamkinga, when ever a name passes through my John Gowen it always throws up a headache for me, it does not surprise me the wrong ages/names or even place names, I think this is the best it is ever going to get.
Thanks again

Trying to find out more about John & Mary Ann Eary, BMD if possible , their daughter Amelia Emily Eary born 1840/41 Holbrook in Suffolk, but did move around quite a bit.

This is such a difficult surname to work with, with so many spelling variations.
I've found the burial of a Mary Ann Eary aged 38 (bc.1815) who was buried 1/5/1853 at St. Peter Mancroft, Norwich.
In a different Norwich parish there supposedly a burial (source FreeReg) of a John Eary, infant, on 18/5/1853 St. Michael, Coslany, Norwich and wondered if possibly mother and son.
However, you can view the original records for both these churches on familysearch and the John Eary burial is simply not there for that date (although death index shows a John Eary died Jun.qtr.1853 Norwich).
Haven't been able to find John and Mary Ann in 1851 census.

No, I can find nothing else for this family at all.

Could this be a child of Mary Ann and John Eary?
