Personal Details

Mary Ann's birth year has been taken from censuses. It would appear she was born before her parents were married.

The following is a transcript of the 1841 census return for John Talbot (snr) and his family. The original has not been examined and this may account for the apparent discrepancy in the ages/birth dates for John and Mary?

Other Details

Mary Ann appears in the 1841 census , age 20, with her parents and siblings, but does not appear with them after that date, nor can I find her elsewhere as an unmarried individual. This suggests that mary Ann either married or died between 1841 and 1851. I have been unable to find a death registration for her during this period, but there are several potential husband's following a marriage of a Mary Ann Talbot in March quarter 1844 in Norwich. Further investigation required.

The obvious detail with Mary Ann in the 1841 census is that she appears to have been born when her parents were only 15?
