Mary Ann WALTON - John Jesse WHITE

[Eyesee]

Mary Ann WALTON was born in Birmingham in 1835, daughter of Elijah and Mary Ann.

At some stage she has married a John Jesse WHITE as they are in Santiago, Chile by 1859 and had three children there.
Julia 1859
Thomas Tristan Alfred 1861
Amelia Mary Lucia 1863

According to Julia's marriage cert in New Zealand her father was a Professor of Music.

By 1871 census Mary Ann and the three children are back in Warwickshire. Mary Ann says she is married but there is no sign of John. Mary's occupation is Professional Singer. Julia is away at school and the two younger ones at home.

In 1878 Mary Ann and the three children emigrate to New Zealand. Have pretty much everything about them after that.

The main thing I am looking for is a marriage for Mary Ann and John.

Can anyone help please.

Thanks

According to her NZ death cert Mary Ann married John Jesse WHITE at Birmingham when she was 20.

There is a marriage on FreeBMD for a John Jesse WHITE in 1854 in Birmingham but neither of the brides are Mary Ann, being Emily PLUMB or Eliza Maria RODWAY. This does not show up in the Birmingham PRs online so am guessing it is Registry Office or non CofE church.
