Mary Andrews/ 1804?
Dear Listers,
I have found something in the 1841 census which I
would like to follow through,with your expertise.
There is a John Andrews 69, wife Mary Andrews 76
and a William Boyce.
What I am interested in is in the next entry
are the following: Mary Barker...37 years...pauper.
I am wondering if she had the maiden name of Andrews..
In the 1841 census she has 2 children:
John Barker 4 yrs...and Richard Barker 9 months.
It must have been a tragic situation that she found
herself in...2 children and being a pauper...where is
her husband?
Is there any place this could be followed up?
Then in the 1851 census both John and Richard listed
as grandsons are living with their grandfather
John Andrews..but there is no sign of the mother,
wonder if she had died.
looking forward to your reply,
Sieglinde, Queensland.
