Mary Hilliard/Hillyard Cardington 1851/61

[Jeremy Pyne]

Grateful for family entries for a Mary Hilliard b cardington, Beds c 1837 in 1851 or 61
I've only known her up to now as the wife of a Robert Rose, my GG Grandfather  who had a daughter (Harriet) in 1873 in Southwark. Have just received the daughter's birth certificate which revealed the Hilliard surname, had picked up Cardington from the 1881 census.

Imagine humble circumstances, Mary could not sign her name for the certificate.

Thanks

Based on StevenG's family grouping on 1841/1851 censuses....

From Cardington PR's baptisms the following 5 children of George & Elizabeth HILLYARD were baptised on 23 Apr 1848, no ages provided !
Ann, Elizabeth, James, Mary, William.

Using the census ages as a guide William being the youngest c 1836 I find the marriage of George Hillyard to Elizabeth Case on 3 Apr 1835, witnesses John Redman & Mary Hillyard

& perhaps father George, is the one baptised 7 Mar 1813, son of James & Mary Hillyard

regards John
