thanks for the info Luc. I had noticed the Harriet Mason as well and now that you say she was registered in Wellington but as you say the child may NOT have been hers no way of knowing. I asked on the Derybshire list for some sight of mary Ann Marshall b c1832 and had a reply from a guy that found the same census ref I did - daughter of a JOHN Marshall. there is no other that fits anywhere close . Kilbourne which is only a hope skip and a jump from Alfreton as well where she married. Trying to find her baptism as wel. 1851 census is a bit more difficult as the only Mary ANn Marshall there is aservant aged 18 and personally I think the age descrepancy is a bit much. 1841 they usually rounded up or down and in 1841 they noted her as age 12 (doesnt sound rounded up OR down to me) so at 18 in 1851 a 6 year 'gap' seems a bit much. So working on it thanks again for your help and I am thinking that the John Middleton Legget connection is a bit far out as I cant see mary Ann being in Wanganui- but you never know. cheers again
