I have a birth (illegitimate ) of Mary Pope 1780 /82 St Merryn she marries my GG x3 Sampson Talluck in 1809.
I think I have the correct death for her and a 'find a grave' memorial -- to go and see one fine day maybe... The date of her death is 1836 in Padstow.
She is the mother of Maria my 2 gg... and I have all needed on most of this line.
MY problem is Mary --- I have her Mothers name as Mary POPE from Cornwall opr but cannot find more on her.
So I am hoping that someone can find more on Mary Pope and her mother (born c. 1764) -- would be wonderful if you could xxx

Have you looked for the birth of Mary's mother in the surrounding villages to St Merryn on free reg?
Free reg has Mary's baptism as 5th November 1780 - why have you put 1780/1782?
There is also a baptism for a Mary Pope in St Merryn in 1740, perhaps she was just an 'older' spinster when she gave birth.

I note on freereg Mary died age 54, which is probably where the 1782 comes from.

Hello
Thanks for that - I had 1780 --- and then when checking saw another date of 1782 on the Burial record.

Yes searched all around for Mary's Mum nearby villages.. I noted one Anc person has her father as Bartholomew.... but I think that is a guestimate......:) I have searched the cornwall OPC a fair few times... but this time no magic from them.. they usually offer up something :)

Burials on Freereg, sadly no ages, was this the mother of Mary 1780?
Mary POPE Burial 23 Jun 1781 Cornwall St Merryn : St Merryn
Mary POPE Burial 02 Oct 1799 Cornwall St Merryn : St Merryn
Was this the daughter of the above I wonder?

Hi Fin,
What I am suggesting is the possibility that the 1881 burial is the mother of Mary who married Samson?

Oh :) ::) ???
thanks will have another look ;D ;D ;D ;D
Fin
Ahhhhhh ---- so you think Mary snr may have died giving birth !! --- maybe which wont help with finding more on her ---- :-X :-\ never mind will plod on... thank you
-
On the other hand was she the other Mary who died 1799 after giving birth to Maria, less likely I think but worth consideration as Mary and Samson had a daughter Maria?

I am confused with the last post Colin.. but thanks anyway :)
Mary by the time she had Maria with Sampson in 1815 was Mary Talluck so the same lady buried in St. Petroc in 1836.
Hang on... Its me :) as per....
I will go back and reflect on your earlier post with free bmd dates and compare with OPC but I had seen Mary Pope 1799 burial previously and discounted it.. due to her marrying Samson so Yes this could well be Mary Pope senior.. oh dear its a crazy game this.

Mary Pope senior POSS had two daughters Ann St Breock and Mary St Merryn.
