Mary Sly birth/baptism in Warminster
« on: Saturday 13 January 07 17:25 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to trace the parents of Mary Sly who married Moses Mansfield in 1856 in Guildford,Surrey. She was born in Warminster and on the 1851 census was aged 28 and a servant in Godalming,Surrey.
Mary is missing from any Sly information I have in Warminster, so I would be very grateful if anyone is able to solve this puzzle for me.
Regards,
Geoff  :)

Hi Nanny Jan,

From a fellow Sly researcher I am given to understand that the father is given as William. However there are more than one William Sly's who could be the one. This is why a birth record would solve the problem I and the other researcher have. He has made an error with her parents on the information he has and wrongly assumed the parents to be William and Anne (Nee:Randall) as they had a Mary born about the same time. However, she died at 1 year old.
Regards,
Geoff

Hello Brian,
Many thanks for your time and trouble.
Mary ( listed as Maria) was with Sophia ( her grandmother ?)  in 1841 and born out of county.
It does appear she may be the illegitimate child of one of the daughter's of William & Sophia.
Regards,
Geoff
