[luckygirl57]

I have not purchased the probate, but I can see what info is available on Ancestry website.
The Nightingales are life long associates - 3 or 4 of them, in various docs - Charles, Jennie, Mary, John

It is worth checking these census out but I cannot confirm this is your Mary Ann, if so how strange no fathers name on marriage cert for bride and groom, was it a mistake ??

In 1861 she might be a servant in Islington

Other than that, nothing on Mary Ann Marshall so far.

Ancestry / Probate index only gives the names of the executors who are not necessarily the beneficiaries.  I see he only left a relatively small amount.

sorry, I'm not proficient with this Quote function- I hope this turns out alright

- Derbyshire seems to be the wrong county for my Mary Ann.
 On 2 different censuses 1881 and 1891 she gives birthplace as Ely, Cambridgeshire.
As for no info on the marriage banns for her father - maybe since her husband Joseph couldn't give his father's name (illegit) it would have "looked bad" for her to give that info??? 

[rosie99]

Normally if they were worried about covering illegitimacy and one of the couples father was known then they would have invented a father for the illegitimate one.

I agree lucky girl but it is always a good idea to look outside the box as it were, I agree Derbyshire is some way away, I did suggest you had a look as I wasn't completely sure, in that case I can't find her anywhere, she seem evasive, wold have thought 1901 she might still have  child living with her

Not one of these are witnessed by a parent

Still can't find her on 1901
