Birth look up help

[carol8353]

Did you know that they are at 2 Palmer Street in 1871 mistranscribed as Jarvey.

RG10 /3134 folio 48 page 29.

I was trying to trace them backwards,to see when Mary stopped being a Hewson/Flewson and married William Geary.

I'll try some more later.

Ahhhhhh 

This looks like a possible first marriage.

Mary Ann Lee Bradley (also down as Mary Annie) is on the same page as a Thomas Hewson in Aston in March 1846 volume 16 page 254.

Will look to see when Thomas died.

And.........there is a possible marriage of a Mary Ann Hewson and a William Garry(Garrey) they can't make up their mind how to spell it 

It is in Dec 1875 in Aston volume 6d page 472.

From previous censuses it would seem as though some of the older kids were officially born Hewson.They all(including Mary Ann) appear to have taken the Geary surname before they actually married. 

Hope this helps a little.

Thank you Carol,
I did find out that the Geary's were down as Jarvey in 1871, which was a surprise  

Great I would like to get a copy of the marriage certificate for Mary Ann & Thomas Hewson, thank you.


Maybe Lily is down as Lily Hewson.
She was born about 1870.

Thank you, you have been a great help.

Ooh it could be, that's great.
I will have to order it.

I am going to FRC on Tues, I will order it.

This is getting even stranger 

I have looked up all the children...............

Allen Hewson b. Mar Q 1854 Birmingham

George Geary Hewson b. Dec Q Birmingham

William Geary b.Sept Q 1859 Aston

Ellen Garray Hewson b.Dec Q 1860 Birmingham

Emma Geary Hewson b. Mar Q 1863

Mary Jane Geary b.Sept Q 1867 Aston

Lily Hewson b. Dec Q 1869 Aston

Why are they all Hewson's and Mary Jane a Geary?
Yet even with the surname Hewson they have Geary with it.
Were the children born while she was a widow, and not yet married to William Geary?

Did she have two chaps on the go at once, surely not 

I cannot find the death of the Hewson chap either?

I will order the birth certificate of Allen the eldest child, and Lily the youngest (my gg Gran)

Just a thought Pettsy,maybe she separated from Mr Hewson,but of course that meant she couldn't marry Mr Geary,but it didn't stop her "living" with him and having is kids 

She seems to have named a few of them with 'dad's surname but legally she was still Hewson when she gave birth to them.

Did dad register the birth of Mary Jane,and automatically the registrar thought she was a Geary?

As you say very odd indeed- keep us informed once you get any relevant certs.

PS two chaps on the go at the same time sounds like too much trouble to me

Hi Carol,

I have just looked at the birth cert for Mary Jane Geary.
The informant is Mary Ann GEARY, she marked X.
William Geary is named on the birth cert too.

What I think I will do is order Allen Hewson's birth cert as he is the eldest, I expect him to be Mr Hewson's son.
Order William Geary's birth cert, his full name is William Thomas Edward Jordene Geary  maybe he is William Geary  son from his first marriage (if there is a first marriage?)
and I will order Lily Hewson (my gg gran)

I think you may be right. She split from her first husband Mr Hewson, and as divorce was just for the rich and famous in those days, she just left him and set up home with Mr W Geary.
Oooh the scandal it must have caused in those days 

I will order on Tues, they usually take one week, as soon as I get them I will post an update.
I can't wait now.

Thank you for all your help.
