Mary Ann Knight of Cornwall

[huddy]

Hi,
I am seeking information about Mary Ann Knight who married John Huddy Retallack at Ladock, Cornwall, on 7 October 1826. I have a lot of ancestor info on John, but Mary is a mystery. She is shown as 'My An Knight' in the England Marriages.
Thanks.

Have you found her on a census? Where & when was she born?

[Neale1961]

The marriage record says both bride and groom were of this parish (Ladock)
Witnesses were Walter Puckey and Selina Puckey

Added : looks like the Puckeys are related through the Retallack side of the family.

[Neale1961]

There is a Mary Ann NIGHT (illegitimate) baptised 1809 in Ladock, mother Mary Night.

I have not yet found a death for your Mary Ann. She is still alive in 1871 census, in Truro with her son. It might be her death in Falmouth Union in 1886??

However, the census says she was born in St Stephen, so this might not be her.
But, I found NO other birth records that would fit for Mary Ann. St Stephen is only about 5 miles from Ladock.

John Huddy Retallack (illegitimate) born 1806 in Ladock, mother Catherine
John Huddy Retallack died 1865 in Ladock age 61.

[Neale1961]

Mary NIGHT also had 2 other illegitimate children that I could find:
James NIGHT baptised Ladock 1796
Susannah KNIGHT baptised Ladock 1799

Mary KNIGHT (I assume the same one), died 1849 in Ladock age 82 ( therefore born about 1767)
 
Note the surname spelling tends to vary.
