MOORMAN Family - Williton

[Yoric]

Trying to find the names of the parents for my Gr Gr Grandmother Mary Ann Moorman.  According to the 1891 census Mary was born in Williton. The BMD states that she was born in the last quarter of 1852.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Yoric

Hello Suz
Mary Moorman married John Branchflower in 1874. I found them on the 1891 and 1901 census but failed to locate them on any other.
Many thanks

Hello Suz
The 1881 census is spot on. I am decended through John and Marys daughter also called Mary Ann and they did live at Wicks Cottages in Bishops Lydeard.
The emergence of Rosa with John and Marie in the 1891 Census gives strong evidenve that you are right in your findings. I would agree that the 1861/71 Moorman family is the correct one.

Many thanks for all your help,
Yoric (Stewart)
