Mary Mann

[Phoenix]

Baptised 25 July 1740, daughter of Francis Mann and Ann nee Stephenson in Sharrington, Norfolk (though regretably no child was baptised Francis)

Married William Bangay junior 29 Nov 1764 Sharrington, Norfolk. Witnesses were William Bangay senior and James Turner (both were serial witnesses)

Buried 29 April 1820, Sharrington aged 79.

Possibly a witness to the marriage of Henry Kerry and Mary Lovett 29 August 1763, Sharrington. I would welsome anyone's comments as to whether the two signatures are by the same hand.

The capital M's look pretty different.

Until you look at the way whoever has written the register has written Mary's name. He has used both styles. Though I feel the earlier entry is more assured.

The problem is that we attributed Mark Mann and Elizabeth Wright as Francis Mann's parents. Unfortunately, that Francis Mann died in Bodham and those parents were named.

Mary was exactly the right age at burial for her parents to be correct, but I need a new candidate for her father.

Hello Brenda,
Could this be him?

Francis, son of Francis Man and Susan his wife baptised 2nd April 1726.
Mind you, he would only have been 14 when Mary Mann was baptised in 1740!! Although of course he could have been baptised a year or more after his birth.

Thank you, Kat!

I keep on trying to work out who is who!

Mark Mann m Elizabeth Wright 1714
Francis Mann m Susan Reeve 1718
Mark Mann m Frances Lutkins wid 1742

Now, Robert Ludkins m Frances Reeve of Sharrington at Letheringsett in 1730....

Susan Reeve was the daughter of Daniel & Susan Reeve b 1694, while Frances had a daughter Susan. I suspect they are sisters or aunt and niece.
