I am looking for a MAYER family originating probably in Hanley, Staffordshire, that included:
1. Catherine MAYER, born c1779, married 1808 London to Matthias Dupont KING (1782-1830), wine merchant, died 1846 St John's Wood, Middlesex, aged 66; (their first son was baptised at Hanley);
2. Martha MAYER, married 1813 Bloomsbury, Middlesex, to Edward KING (1790-1822), merchant (1st cousin to Matthias Dupont KING);
3. Frances MAYER, born c1793, married 1820 Bloomsbury, Middlesex, to Samuel Edward Peacock HALE (1790-1851), oilman, died 1831 St Mildred Poultry, London, aged 36;
4. Joseph MAYER, whose will or intestacy was subject to a suit in the Court of Chancery c1865;
5. Elijah MAYER or Alice MAYER, who married each other in 1806 at Stoke-on-Trent (witnessed by Thomas MAYER + Mary MAYER).
I have connected these by deduction as follows:
1+2: Catherine's and Martha's husband were 1st cousins;
1+3: Catherine's husband was a witness at Frances' wedding;
1+4: Catherine's son received £1,000 as a result of the Chancery suit re Joseph;
2+5: Frances' granddaughter married Elijah and Alice's grandson;
2+3: Martha's granddaughter and Frances' grandson married a brother and sister.
I am anxious to make contact with other researchers who might be interested in the same family.
