Ladies......

Too much information all at once, I can't keep up.

Welsh Lady,  Bristol Suffolk maybe a typo, do have access to the actual scan to double check the place of birth.

Also this surname Woodard/Woodward is getting to me. I thought variations on Sherry were tough enough.

I'm afraid it does look very much like Suffolk Bristol.

Unless anyone has more local knowledge of Suffolk as to what else it could be.

For once the writing is clear and not spidery and faint.

Doesn't help at all does it Dawn  ::)

Yes i agree it does say Bristol Suffolk the census enumerator has obviously misheard Bristol.If shes the correct Mary Ann?
And have just found out by going to the 1861 census
Mary Ann Woodward age 3 with Grandmother in 1851 is not yours see below
1861 Hanwell Middlesex
John Woodward,Head,44,Lab,Hanwell
Mary Woodward,Wife,45,Twickemham
Mary Ann Woodward,Dau,13,Hanwell
Elizabeth Woodward,Mother,Widow,68,Dronfield Derbyshire

So back to looking again for the younger Mary Ann.
Best Wishes Welsh Lady

Hello all

Here's an update.

I posted a message on the Suffolk board to see what results I got there.

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,210219.0.html

It would appear there was a place known as Bristle Green in Suffolk.

Although the Suffolk baptisms I'm after aren't on the IGI, it would appear the LDS have scanned the registers. I've not ventured into a LDS Family History Centre so I don't know what the procedure is for ordering films but I must add that my 2 nearest centres are not that local - Watford and Chelsea - not a million miles away but I only have school hours during the week to fit outings into.

Anyway.....

The 1853 marriage of William Sherry and Mary Ann Woodaard is on the IGI although it's one of those 'I' batches. Having looked at it, I'll plod through the GRO indeces again because Williams father's name is not Isaac as shown. I may have missed another candidate around 1848 when the marriage was supposed to have taken place.

Thanks for looking at the 1861 census, Welsh Lady, and ruling out that 1851 3yr old Mary Ann in Hanwell. Every little snippet helps.

Unfortuately I didn't get to the library today while my daughter had her dance/music classes as I had to do some shopping for my mother-in-law who has got home from a week away with a really stinky cold. This next week is looking too full to get there and it's still only Saturday. Decisions..... housework or family tree? tough call

Thanks to everyone who's been helping so far.

Dawn
