Mary Ann Hellen BRAYLEY

MARY SEPTIMA'S MOTHER. Born 20 May 1843 at St Bartholomew's, City of London; died 21 April 1900 at Home Sweet Terrace, Northam, and indexed at age 56, which fits the birth date exactly. SHE HAS NO BIRTH REGISTRATION, AND ON 8 OCTOBER 2026 THAT WAS SETTLED RATHER THAN DEEPENED. FreeBMD holds no Mary Brayley or Brailey in the June quarter of 1843 anywhere in England and Wales; the GRO's own index, searched on HER mother's maiden surname TEMPLE across 1838-1852, returns only two children of her parents and she is not among them. Registration was not compulsory on parents until 1875 and this household is 'Shoemaker Wife Pauper' - she was almost certainly never registered.
