Hi Amanda, Absolutely, there are many pitfalls, people did not always know when they were born, figures from notes in records can have been misinterpreted and so on. I am looking further in the Swedish church record. In Sweden the vicars had catecheticals (Google translate - I hope it works)...

Hi, Thanks a lot! I have found the parish records for her death July 25 1839 in Kalmar Sweden. There it says that she was 55 years at her death, wich supports that she should have been born 1784 which is in our family records, but not really in the records found. I found some born 1784: Ann...

Hello again, We have not found anything more about who Mary Ann Bone was yet, but there is a possibility to find more from the Swedish foreign departments achives, I will check that. So far I think Mary Ann Wilds Bone 1787 or Mary Ann Bone 1779 are the best candidates. We found though that...

I don´t have her age at death right now. I am trying to see if I can get some more information through other Swedish records when she came to Sweden. I will be back with info. Right now I will be away over the weekend :-) Caroline

Another thing I thought of was if the name Bone can be used as a first name? A grandchild of Mary Ann was baptised Edward John Emil Bone. Caroline

Yes it is fascinating what can be found in the archives and also what you cannot know, just have as a hypothesis. It is great that we found the marriage that seems to be the correct one. But the rest – who Mary Ann Bone was, seems to be more difficult. I will be in contact with other relatives...

The note Alverstoke at the right of the marriage notice - what did that mean? Interesting with your latest link. I suppose you think of the Mary Ann Wilds 1789. But we lost the name Bone. But maybe a father to the "illegitimate" child 1787?? Is Wilds an unusual name?

I thought that the note Alverstoke after the marriage in the parish records from Hambledon ment that the marriage was in Alverstoke? Or did I miss something? Caroline

It looks like the marriage is correct, doesn´t it? There were no more Brithelli families in Sweden (Anders Magnus was the first who used that name, before him they had the name Britt, also very unusual in Sweden. Possibly earlier British ancestors??) I suppose Alverstoke is within the parish...

Interesting that Hambledon was a Naval town, it does not look like close enough to the sea. My ancestor owned a shipyard in Kalmar and was a shipbroker and a tradesman. Could that fit in with Hambledon? Caroline

Some more questions. Is Hambledon known for anything in particular? Is it a place where you travel to in order to celebrate your wedding unless you have your family there? Does it have any connection to trade or shipping, since Anders Magnus Britthelli was in that business? Thinking about how...

Dear Geoff and Amanda, Thank you very much for your help! The marriage must be my ancestors. But still some confusion on which Mary Ann Bone who is the woman. Both in written records from elder relatives and in one of the links you sent me she is occationally named as last name Bane, but...

Hi Geoff, This is interesting! I have the information that Mary Ann Bone was married to Anders Magnus Brithelli which in Britain could be noted as Andrew M Brithelli. The “event” mentioned in your first note – is that a marriage or could it be something else? Is this information below from the...

Hi Amanda, I tried to answer but must have made something wrong, so this message might come up twice. As far as I know they didn´t live in the UK. If the wedding was in the UK or in Sweden I don´t know. It is said that she was from Liverpool but that doesn´t say that she was born or raised...

Hi Amanda, I don´t think they lived in the UK after marriage or if the wedding was in the UK or in Sweden. It is said that she came from Liverpool but that doesn´t say that she was born or raised there, it might only be the port she left England from. They had a son, Andrew John, born in 1817...

Hello, My ancestor Mary Anne Bone married my relative Anders Magnus Brithelli in Kalmar Sweden. She was born in 1784, probably in Liverpool. Anders Magnus owned a shipyard in Kalmar and was a merchant, so I suppose Mary Anne might have a similar background. Anyone who know about her? Caroline...
