Mary Ann HARBIGE (1850?- )

RiD No.: 542

Personal Details

Birth 1850 (approx.) Chelsea
There are two possible birth registrations which could be Mary Ann

1. Mary Ann Harbige registered in December quarter 1849 in St George, Hanover Square or
2. Mary Ann Caroline Harbige registered in March quarter 1851 in St Georges, Hanover Square

Census returns below indicate Mary was born c1850, so the 1851 birth is more likely but this still needs to be comfirmed. Unfortunately, Mary's marriage registration is only in the name of Mary Ann (no Caroline) which does leave the registration question open?
