Mary Gearing/Millard/Clark

[clarksparks]

My great great grandfather, Robert Clark (widower) married Mary Millard (widowed) on 19 May 1884 at Two Mile Hill, St Michael, Bristol, Glos. following the death of his first wife Eliza (Greenaway).

Details show fathers: William Clark and John Gearing.

Robert Clark/e & Mary are listed in the 1891 census living at 6 Summerhill Road, St. George, Bristol. (Mary A Clark/e, wife, 70, b. 1821 Glos. Bitton, Hawker).

I believe that Mary was previously married to Joseph Millard and if so they are recorded in the census records of 1861/71/81 in St. George, Bristol, Glos. Joseph died in 1882.

But I'm unable to find any early records of Mary or her father John Gearing and family, or a marriage record of a Mary Gearing to Joseph Millard. (Her first son William was born about 1849 in Bristol.)

Can someone help please?

Her first son William was born about 1849 in Bristol.

Can you give the evidence of this, as I can’t see it on GRO?

So they’re the family recorded as “Miller” in Bristol in 1861?

Joseph 40 b Somerset
Mary 42 b Bitton, Glos
William 12 b St Philip’s, Bristol
Mary A 9 b St George’s, Gloucestershire
Elizabeth 5 b St George’s, Gloucestershire

RG9/1732/40/13.

RG 9/1732/ 40 p 13

1861 census: I believe incorrectly listed as 'Miller' - Joseph, Mary & 3 children (Whites Hill, St. George, Bristol).

[clarksparks]

Yes, I think that's the family.

Mary 42 b Bitton, Glos
William 12 b St Philip’s, Bristol
Mary A 9 b St George’s, Gloucestershire
Elizabeth 5 b St George’s, Gloucestershire

No wonder I couldn’t find them. 

Can’t see them as Millard on the other censuses either.

Do you have GRO references to support these as Millard/Gearing, as I can’t.
