Baptism Look Up Trowbridge
« on: Tuesday 04 October 05 17:11 BST (UK) »
I am looking for information on Mary Spurrell. She married John George and spent her married life in Bath. She always gave her place of birth as Trowbridge, her year of birth is approx 1829. Any information about her parents and any siblings would be much appreciated.

Hello Brian

Thank you for the information, that could very likely be the Mary I am looking for.

I have found another Spurrell from Trowbridge in the 1861 Census, his name was James aged 39 and he and his family were living in Avon Street, Walcot. I guess at the time of the 1841 Census he was living elsewhere but may still be conn3ected with Mary.

I have also found a possible marriage for a Mary in 1849 so I have taken a chance and sent for it.

Hello again Brian

Thank you for finding Jas Spirell. I think they must all be one family. I know I found a Mary Spurrell in a later census with a birthplace as Trowbridge, but cannot find it now. I think when Ancestry release the 1851 census I may well subscribe.

Regards

Sue
