Another Marsom - Mary Completed

[bedfordshire boy]

So if her birth was 1822 why didn't William marry Elizabeth sooner than 1829?

Probably because she was still married to William Norgin who didn't die until perhaps 1827, and probably because William and Elizabeth weren't her parents

Doesn't the 1841 establish that Mary's parents were William and Susan, not William and Elizabeth? In 1822 Elizabeth Mantle/Cooper/Norgin/Marson would have been in her mid 50s so wouldn't have been her mother in any event.

So her daughter Mary mentioned in her will would have been either Mary Cooper or Mary Norgin

1851 seems to imply that William and Thomas were the illegitimate sons of Mary Marson, against whose name no marital condition was given. FreeBMD has a birth of a William Marsom in the June quarter 1848 and a Thomas Marson birth in March 1850. The birth cert will confirm whether or not they were illegitimate
