Mary Jane Matthews ne Baker
« on: Saturday 15 December 18 08:04 GMT (UK) »
Mary Jane was born in 1835 in Bishops Lydeard to James and Maria Baker.

In 1853 she had an illegitimate daughter, Bella.
In 1881 she appears to be in Taunton Union workhouse as Mary J Matthews (born 1834)
In 1891 she is with her mother Maria as Mary Jane Matthews.

Can anybody find a "logical" marriage? )There is one registered in Leicester in 1870 but .......)
I'd also be interedted in her death registration.

1870 Leicester marriages - Mary Jane Baker married William Upton, William Matthews married Sarah Topley.  :'(
