I have a Mary Matthews, who according to the Censuses was born 1811, living her life within the Whittlesey, Cambs area.
I hope someone can look at the relevant Parish records her parents, for me, please.
I searced the BMD on the .gov site now, I have found a John Matthews died at Whittlesey in 1838, aged 53. So possibly this may be her father? That would account for me not tracing him on any Censuses.
She married to John Green, Whittlesey possibly around 1831, (and a GRO search show mother's maiden name, Matthews on birth records of her children). Could someone also kindly confirm the marriage details for me?
One of her sons, also named John, born in 1838 was hanged in 1864 within Cambridge Gaol for the murder of a woman in Whittlesey the previous year. He was my husband's 3x Gt Grandfather.
Although I subscribe to findmypast, Ancestry and the BNA, I haven't been able to get any potentially positive results from my searches of these sites.
Thanks in advance.
