Essex / Cotten Death essex Geography
« on: Sunday 20 January 19 23:53 GMT (UK)  »
I'm having trouble with the geography and hoped someone could help.

Mary Cotton is in West ham Essex in 1841 census, I'm looking for Death June 41- early 46 to maybe find out her birth name and Free BDM has a Rochford death in that name , Is that a close location to West ham?

I also have a Devon possibility
Sept quarter 1846 a baby is born to another wife, In Devonshire,  the family seems to be from this devon area orginally. There is a Mary cotton there: Is St Thomas Devon near Dawlish or Teignmouth?

With a common name I dont want to purchase too many pdf's from GRO.

UPDATE: I've found a Gibraltar Census in 1834-  Mary Dawe 22, Catholic, widow. Child mary 1.5 Native.This would be about the right age, and has the older Daughter in the 1841 census. Still cant find Dawe or Cotton/ cotten weddings but closer.

Thanks for the tip, no I don't have a Birth for Mary. I just have her name from her daughter Pamela's Birth certificate, and a census saying Foreign born, The girls later say Spain born (One was In army Chaplin's register Born in Gibraltar). Our family has talked of Spanish roots but living members don't know what except that my great grandfather was writing to Spanish govt in relation to land from New Zealand.

Yes there are 2 younger Kids by Elizabeth. Thanks for the GRO references.

Mary Daw Is called Foreign in the 41 Census, And It seems Pamela was born in Gibraltar, ( from army Chaplins returns) Then registered in England a year later.

 I haven't found marriage or Death of Mary, but I'm not really familiar with english searching yet.
(my dad had heard her name was Maria)
