Help appreciated in accounting for this person believed to be daughter of Jane (Guy) Minear , listed 1841 Census aged 1 living East Turnpike.
1851 Census transcribed as Mary Ann Mincer aged 11.
1861 Census as
Mary Ann Minear visitor aged 21 living with family of William (? a brother) Minear.
What became of Mary Ann ?Did she marry ?
Apparently her father could not have been William Minear as he had died 1832 , makes her parentage dubious.
With thanks.

A Mary MINEAR marries either Willie PRYNN or James KNIGHT at St Austell in Dec quarter 1898

Thank you John.
Sorry for the delay in responding.
Your suggestions look promising as I think Roche not far from St Austell.
I don't suppose you can see her 1871 and 1881 as might give further confirmation.
Now looking for burial record.
Much appreciated.

Thank you again John.
I am checking these out.
Differing birth locations might be an issue but age fits.
I should be able to match up with other family members.
-
1851 she is down as Janes Daug as you know;
Anc has this with no date;
Name: Jane Minear
Gender: Female
Child: Mary Minear
No Birth Reg GRO that I can find
I think the 1871 Census is not your Mary Ann. Looks like her age is out there and born c 1834 to Matthew/Elizabeth. They have a Son William.
1861 she is with her half brother Wiliam and Family.
This may be a red herring but a Mary Ann GUY, Spinster*, married William Parker 1862 (CornwallOPC)
She names her Father as Edward COLLECOAT a Fisherman
William is a Widower/occp Mariner

From Cornwall OPC. Baptism 6 April 1834 St Austell. Mary, daughter of Jane Minear, victualler. Base child. No obvious record of burial.
Not an answer - just another question
-
Thank you Brentor Boy , Trish and John.
I can confirm Mary was base child of Jane ( Guy) Minear bpt 6 Apr 1834 St Austell.I wondered if "victualler" was reference to mother or unknown fathers occupation. The Minears did have pub connections.
On reflection I agree 1871 not her.
-
In 1851 Jane's occupation shown as "housework, formerly inn keeper"

By way of clarification , here is Mary Ann Minear in 1861:

MINEAR Mary Ann Sister U F 21 Cornwall - St Austell
I think this means she was a sister of William John Minear.
The Mary Minear bpt 6 Apr 1834 ( base child of Jane )was apparently a sister ( she married William Henry Harry April 1853 St Austell ).Two different people so far as I can see.
Still no bpt found for Mary bC1840. Transcribed as "Mincer" 1841 and 1851
Sorry if still causing confusion.
