Hi
was wondering if anyone has any information about Mary Curgenven Blackler. Mary was married in Dec 1872 to James Birch. I believe she was born in Devon 1825/6. I am unable to find her pre 1872.

thanks

She would have been in her 40's when she married - was she a spinster or a widow on the marriage cert?  What was her fathers name

[CaroleW]

Marriage cert shows her as a spinster - no father shown

Baptism in Charles, Plymouth, Devon

September 11, 1825
Mary Curgenven Blackler
daughter of Mary Bennett. No father mentioned... is Blacker or Bennett the surname??
Lived at Mill Bay

Also on the same day a baptism for
William Curgenven Blackler son of Mary Bennett

Twins?

Marriage cert shows her as Blackler and she signed the register as Blackler

thanks

There is a marriage on findmypast: 1840 at Plymouth, (vol 9 page 36) MARY BLACKLER married one of these people  RICHARD BLAKE, JOHN DAVEY, JOHN BENNETT.

BAPTISM at Charles the Martyr, Plymouth, 11 Sept 1825, daug of Mary Bennett a servant living at Mill Quay, a daughter Mary Mary Curgenven Blackler also a son Willm Curgenven Blackler Bennett.  The two baps are bracketted together, and there is a note above which reads, "said to be born July 15th 1825" BUT, this is written in above bap space and may not refer to Bennett baps.

Looking for Curgenven it appears the surname is not as unusual as I had thought.

I thought the name Curgenven would be easy but Cornwall and Devon full of them
