Marriage of Maria Painter, Shrewsbury 1846

[SmallTownGirl]

Hi

According to FreeBMD, there's a marriage in Q2, 1846 in Shrewsbury RegDistrict of a Maria Painter.  The listing shows four couples marrying, but it predates the time when the index actually said who married whom.

One of the potential grooms is a Thomas Burgwin.

Bit of a long shot, I know - especially as I have no idea of the parish, but does anyone have access to that record to tell me whether Maria married Thomas, or one of the others, please?

Reason I ask is that Maria had a daughter in 1838 called Abigail, and on Abigail's marriage certificate in 1857, it states that her "reputed father" was called Thomas Burgoyne.  Someone on Ancestry, has him as b. 1826 in Clun, but that would make him 12 when Abigail was born - not impossible, but not really very likely I don't think.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Can't answer directly, but there's some circumstantial evidence which may be worth investigating.

There are several baptisms of children to Thomas Burgwin & Mary or Maria in Shropshire in the late 1840s-1850s: see Familysearch.

1851: Thomas Burgwin is in Atcham with wife Mary (36 b Wroxeter).

1856 (Mar qtr): Death of a Maria Burgwin in Atcham.

1861: Widowed Thomas Burgwin, 51 b Alberbury, in Wroxeter with children and mother-in-law Mary Shore b abt 1794 Atcham.  RG9/1868/44/4.

Does any of this match known information for Maria Painter?

> Mary Shore ...

Maria's mother was Martha (nee Lloyd) Painter.

Oh rats!   

Good deductive skills though avm   

Oh well, back to the drawing board!

Have you found Abigail in 1851, and if so who was she with?

[SmallTownGirl]

In 1841 Abigail is with Maria's parents, Edward and Martha Painter.
In 1851 Abigail is with Maria's brother, Edward and his wife Ann.
