Can’t see a marriage for William Penn to Eliza(beth) Hussey yet either, but the GRO births Penn / Hussey match the censuses with William, shoemaker, and Eliza   :-\

Hi
I think that the Southwark Mary Penn is too old to be the mother of Ann Elizabeth in 1887.
The London born one in Northampton has the advantage of marrying Mr Stephens! Haven't found her in 1881 though.
Her place of birth in 1901 might be supposed to mean St George in the East, close to Shadwell?

She was (as far as we know) the only child born to the marriage which makes sense if she was older, but yes i agree that she was a bit old in 1887 to be Ann Elizabeth’s mother ;D

Found the baptisms for the children of William and Eliza Penn of St George’s Southwark and St Mary Newington. The one for Mary though gives her name as Mary Ann not Mary Jane so the negatives are mounting  >:(

Best I can come up with for a marriage was at St Sepulchre in Northampton, 11 May 1845
William Penn
+
Elizabeth Mattason

Hi John, where did you find the details (date and church). Just wondering if William’s occupation is included? Thanks.

Thanks John, So William was a shoemaker, that’s a good start. Wasn’t expecting them to travel about so much (especially shoemakers, not like ag labs searching for work) to then be in London for Mary’s birth. At least when Mary’s 2nd husband moved down to south Wales it was to work on the sinking of the Llanbradach pit.

Can’t link either of these William Penns to Mary Jane and a marriage / death to a Stephens so think I’ll leave it for now and follow another line. Thanks for all the help.
