Mary Ann Coomber -Where did she go after 1871
« on: Sunday 15 March 20 15:03 GMT (UK) »
Please can anyone help me find Mary Ann Coomber after the 1871 census.

Prior to that, she was quite easy to trace.

I found her birth on 7 Jan 1847 and baptism on 31 Jan 1847. Her parents were William Coomber (cab driver) and Sarah Pottinger.
Sarah died 26 Nov 1849

In the 1851 and 1861 census Mary Ann is with her aunt Elizabeth. (mother’s sister)
Elizabeth died on 15 Nov 1867.
In her will, Elizabeth left almost everything to Mary Ann Coomber

In the 1871 census Mary Ann is back with her father, but in 1872 her father, William died.
I got a copy of William’s death certificate, to see if Mary Ann registered the death. No luck there.

I cannot find a marriage or death for Mary Ann. I’ve found a few ‘possibles’ but when I traced them, backwards or forwards, they were not her.

Please does anyone have any ideas where to look next?

Hello Rosie

The Mary Ann Coomber who married John James Hoare in 1876 was born in Basingstoke, Hampshire.

The Mary Ann Coomber who died in 1880 in Islington was married to Charles Coomber, a carpenter.

These were the best 'possibles' but the facts didn't stack up.

Thanks for your interest.

Her father was definitely William Coomber and in various census he is a 'cab driver' and a 'carriageman'
His son charles was also a 'cab driver'
