Maria Damer: Baptism Brickwall
« on: Saturday 19 June 21 12:02 BST (UK) »
hi all,

I've been searching for Maria Damer's birth/Baptism for some time.

These are the facts I know so far:

1779: Approx. year of birth/baptism.
1814: Married to Robert Jenkins St. Mary's Lambeth, Surrey, England as a spinster.
1838: Died as Maria Jenkins aged 59 on 28-Jan at Davys Buildings, Westminster, Middlesex, England.
1838: Buried 4-Feb in St. Margaret's, Westminster, Middlesex, England.

I've search a lot but I cannot locate a birth/baptism at all.
I've tried Ancestry, FindMyPast, and FamilySearch and FreeReg.

Because she died before the 1841 census (why do all the hard ones do that?) I can't even work out if born in county.

Any help gratefully received.

Neil.

OK some Edits:

I made a bit of an error on her age at death. She was 39 not 59 making her Birth c. 1799 (or a few year either way).

I have been tipped off that she was born in 1794

Thoughts ?

As the age at death is only as good as the knowledge of the person giving the information then I'd say that baptism is looking very probable.

the age at death is difficult to read in the parish register.

However on her marriage register its says ' with consent of parents' which she would not have needed if over age 21 so born after 1792/3.

note - the other entries on the parish register page do not have the wording 'with consent.....'

AH Dang it.

Thanks Jon but no. My Maria Damer married Robert Jenkins in St. Mary's,  Lambeth in 1814 with parents consent.

Dang I thought I had it.
