Midlothian / Re: Ann Maria nee ??? Married to John Stanley, then George Smith
« on: Saturday 24 September 16 09:42 BST (UK)  »
Thanks everyone for your help, I sent for the marriage certificate and have found out that her maiden name was Blakeney, her father's name was Henry or Harry Blakeney. Another discrepancy I have found was that Ann Maria was aged 30 when she married George Smith in 1860, therefore her year of birth was 1830 not 1835 as stated in the family bible... the search goes on.
Thank you.

Hi Kay
Thank you for that, I have had a look at ancestry and it has given me something to go on now. I will contact the tree owner and see if they have any certificates.
Many thanks

Hi Trish
Many thanks for info. That is helpful, I wasn't aware of another child. Something new to tell the family.
Can I ask where you found the information?
Many thanks

Hi Monica,
The date of birth was from the Smith family bible.
Ann Maria had one son from her first marriage as far as I am aware, he died aged 20 in 1874, he was in the army in India, as was his father and his step father. Ann Maria had four children from her second marriage, three daughters and a son, two of the daughters died approximately aged 3.
The son and daughter both returned to Britain, I'm not sure when, but the surviving daughter was my great grandmother.
I have been unable to find when John Stanley died. The search still goes on.

Hi Kay
Unfortunately I do not have their marriage certificate, I'm hoping to avoid the expense of sending for it by doing as many searches etc as possible, but it may look like I will have to send for it to be able to move on.
Thank you for your help
Regards
Carol.

Midlothian / Ann Maria nee ??? Married to John Stanley, then George Smith
« on: Sunday 04 September 16 03:04 BST (UK)  »
I'm looking for the maiden name of Ann Maria Stanley.
She was born on 16 September 1835 in Edinburgh, she married a private in the army (14th light dragons) called John Stanley approximately 1853/54 they had a son call Abraham Stanley born 19 December 1854 in India. Ann Maria's husband died  between 1854 and 1860, yet to find any details of his death.
Ann Maria then went on to marry George Smith a corporal in 18th Hussars. They married in Maidstone in 1860. They also lived in India with Abraham and Ann Maria went on to have four more children one son and three daughters, two of which died at the age of three from fever.
The surviving daughter was my gt grandmother.
Ann Maria Smith died February 1880
To be able to move on I need to find my gt gt grandmother's maiden name. I have looked in Scotland people, I have searched for a first marriage, marriage details, without much success.
If anyone has any further information or suggestions it would be great to hear from you.
