Thank you Jonw65, I had seen that, I always thought it was odd that the three were baptised at that time, particularly as John Edward had already been baptised, the two older siblings Mary and Thomas, were not included. And then John Edward and Samuel are again baptised in October 1904?

Modified to add that the baptisms in 1896 are about 6 months after the death of Mary’s husband Thomas if that is significant?

Hi Heywood and Jonw65, thank you for your interest, yes, still searching for the elusive Mary (Barnes) Puplett.

The only actual record I have her on is the 1891 census…. the addresses below are from baby Mary’s death certificate. Mother Mary’s occupation is shown as a hawker at St Stephens Place, Tabard Street. (Her father James was recorded as a Hawker on her marriage certificate so I was hoping there might be a link there)… her residence was shown as 52 Earl Road, Old Kent Road….?

I will have a look into Joseph Carey and see if that leads anywhere…. I can’t find her other children either, so was thinking she might be living with someone else and using their name, but baby Mary is registered and baptised as Puplett, so unlikely she is someone else’s?

Thank you both, any other suggestions, inspiration or advice would be greatly appreciated 

I wonder about this birth in 1834….?
Thomas Puplett, baptised 9 Apr 1834, Christchurch St Saviour, s/o Sophia Puplett & James Hurcombe, Carman, Bear Lane… after 1st husband George Puplett dies and before 2nd marriage to Robert Hutchins…..? A dearth of other Sophia Pupletts as possible mother

Edited: James Hurcombe not Thomas.

Have you ruled out the following…
