Brock family missing a few details

[Milliepede]

1891 just has Cornwall for birthplace born 1827

1901 transcribed as Burrs has Lancallas Cornwall born 1827, when you look at the image it looks like Lanoellas which is pretty close to what you said with Lanallos. 

As for a death there’s a Mary A Burn age 94 death in 1919 East Stonehouse.  Closest I can see so far.

Also a John Burn age 92 death in 1919 East Stonehouse.  Likely to be that couple I think but we still haven’t proved she was your Mary Jane Brock.

Am I being silly in suggesting this baptism.

Will have a look for the 1911 couple but the no children is a clue she was an older bride.  Which we know anyway from her age. 

Her daughters didn’t have very long lives did they  .

I've not investigated Mary Jane's daughters yet - I think one died at birth but I've not looked at the other 3 in detail post the 1861 census. I'll be ordering a few death certificates I can imagine...

Thanks for the information. Burns looks to be the best bet of those suggested. Getting hold of a marriage certificate will be the next step.

I've yet to investigate Mary Jane's siblings. She was with elder sister Rebecca in 1841 if I have the right record. There may be some clues to be had there.

I don't know if she had any more children with Edward Brock. Married in 1861, he was born in 1862 and then Edward died in 1870. It's unusual in my tree to have a single child but she was almost 40 at that stage.

I will get back on this later this evening. Thanks again.

Yes, this is the Edward Brock in question. My thread has deviated a bit off course from the Brocks! I have almost everything I think I can fnd on Edward. I've yet to look at his siblings... His father died in Plymouth in 1858 but I've not finished looking at the mother Martha. I think she might have remarried and ended up in Cornwall but it's yet to be confirmed. So much to do!

Oh whoops I've jumped ahead of you a bit then sorry don't want to spoil your own investigations.
Any help you need with them just ask.

The mystery of Mary Jane looks to be solved thank you Milliepede.

The death certificate for Mary Ann Burn did indeed have son William Edward Brock present at the death. I'll have to do some digging in the Burns now to find out what she was up to between 1877 and 1919. Her address in Newport Street may have a connection with her daughter-in-law's family. Reaching the age of 94 was fairly unusual in those days. Her granddaughter, my grandmother also died aged 94.

That’s great, couldn’t have worked out better than for him to be the informant.

She is on every census together with John from 1881-1911. 

He died the same quarter and was 92 so they both reached a good age.

I've been looking at Mary Jane Hambly/Every/Brock/Burn's daughters from the marriage to William Every...

I am struggling to find out what happened to the second daughter, Jane Hambly Every b1850 in Devonport. I have her in the 1851 and 1861 censuses at home and then in 1881 working as a servant. I can't find her elsewhere... She witnessed the wedding of her youngest sister in 1877 but the rest is a mystery.

There were 4 sisters - one died shortly after birth and the other two at the age of 39. If any super sleuths can help, that would be much appreciated.
