RESEARCH NOTES
From other researchers researcher:
- William's widow Mary Ann probably is on the 1841 census at Pells Court, Stone Street, Maidstone I'm fairly sure Mary's occupation in 1841 is 'Dealer in Fish' Her son Thomas was listed as a fishmonger in both 1861 and 1871
- In 1851 Mary Ann is living in Carey Street, Maidstone with 2 daughters (Elizabeth & Jane) and 4 month old grandson Edward. I think this must be Edward John Boorman 4th quarter Maidstone 1850. Vol 5-351. But who are Edward's parents - daughter Jane (18) is perhaps most likely as she is shown as married but she is still named Jane Boorman?
- In 1861 Mary Ann has died and son John is now head of the household. Sister Elizabeth is now 30 (8 years older than in 1851) and Jane is 21 which is 3 years older than 1851! Edward is now 6 and shown as John's son. I note that a 2nd Edward John was born in the Maidstone district in the 1st quarter 1854 Vol 2A-408 so it seems that the first Edward may have died but I cannot find evidence of this. If there were two Edward Johns did they have the same parents?
Perhaps this is connected?
