Received to-day the birth certificate for a Mary Ann Bagshaw.It would appear that she was born on 22nd July, 1845 in Northfleet, Kent, in the North Aylesford Registration District of England.Her mother was Mary Bagshaw; no father given, probably confirming the family suspicion that this Mary Ann was illegitimate.
There were two Mary Ann Bagshaws born in Northfleet, Kent; the Mary Ann Bagshaw above and another Mary Ann Bagshaw born on 3rd Jan., 1844 , Kent (bap. 11 Feb., 1844 also in Northfleet)whose father was William Bagshaw, labourer and mother Caroline.
Now, a Mary Bagshaw married John Lawley (brass founder)on 14th Jan., 1855 in Milton-Next Gravesend, Kent and Mary's father was given as William Bagshaw, fish monger.This Mary Bagshaw was probably the mother of the Mary Ann Bagshaw born in 1845.
Mary Ann Bagshaw subsequently went as Mary Ann Lawley; but when she married James Peck her m/cert. gave her maiden name as Mary Ann Bagshaw, with father William Bagshaw, Labourer.
The mystery continues.
