Northam / Marke - Possibly Taunton Area

[AndyH81]

Thank you.

Based on what I'd found, I came to the following conclusions -

Mary Eva Marke's parents were:

Emily SELWOOD b. circa 1860 (West Buckland), d. 1937 (Taunton), married in 1879 to William MARKE b. circa 1857 (West Buckland), d. 1934 (Taunton). Together, they had 5 children: Alfred, Walter, Ethel, Mary and Samuel.

Emily Selwood's parents were:

Jane BROOM b. 1821 (West Buckland), d. 1885 (Wellington), married in 1848 to Elias SELWOOD b. 1821 (West Buckland), d. 1907 (Wellington). Together, they had 7 children: Sarah Jane, Elizabeth, William, Albert Henry, Anna Maria, Edwin, and Emily.

Jane Broom's parents were:

Elizabeth HARRIS b. 1821 (West Buckland), d. 1885 (Wellington). She was married to William BROOM b. circa 1790, d. circa 1860. Together they had 3 children: Jane, Sarah and Elizabeth.

Mary Eva Marke's husband, Elias, appears to be the child of John SELLWOOD (alt. spelling) b. 1792 (West Buckland), d. 1877 (West Buckland) and Grace MARKS b. 1799 (West Buckland), d. 1854 (Wellington).

-------

Mary Eva Marker's FATHER, William Marker's parents were:

Stephen MARKE b. 1831 (West Buckland), d. 1902 (Wellington) - not sure about his wife.

There appears to be another possible Stephen who comes from Wales as a contender; however, I do not believe anyone on my mother's side is Welsh. I do have Welsh connections on my father's side.

You need to read the info again.

Stephen Mark* is not Williams Father.

1871 in West Buckland;

Samuel Marks 66 Head
Elizabeth Marks 63 Wife
Stephen Marks 39 Son
William Marks 12 Grandson born Newfrost Monmouthshire Wales*****

You need you buy the B/C as noted to establish which Daug of Samuel Mark* he was born too.

His B/C has no mothers maiden name so he was illeg.
This is noted as he names no Father on his M/C

I'm really sorry, but that response is just not clear enough to me as to why you think Stephen Marke would not be his father?

Sorry, but I struggle to communicate in lists of just names with no clarifying information or context. Are you trying to say you think Stephen can't be his father because the Stephen I picked was born in Wales - or are you trying to say you think William was born in Wales?

Okay, I really appreciate you guys are trying to help. But Just responding with names and dates and no other qualifying information about what you're trying to convey just isn't that clear.

Maybe it makes sense if you have more experience, but I'm afraid I find it no more helpful than someone replying with:

12 March 2983 - Banana - Middle Earth - Harry Potter. Sorry!

I'll go it alone from now - but thanks for starting me off in the right direction.
