Research Notes

Mary's parents are clearly named on her gravestone, which agrees with the names of the baptism record from East Lydford. But, if as was common, she was baptised as an infant she would have been about 2 years old at death, not 3 3/4 years as on the gravestone. Honor-65 14:56, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
