[DaveHam9]

Some things don't fit.

2x Mary one born 1830 and one born 1836? That does not fit with age in 1851 census. An error in the bio with birth year as 1836? Mary 8 years older ??

1851 census middle initial D.

I've looked at the images of the original entries, there are two.
One is for a marriage at Christ Church, Mount Road, Madras between William Thomas Brereton and Mary Quince Beaumont. Both of full age. He's a bachelor and she's a spinster. His father Thomas Brereton, hers Charles Beaumont. Married 15/9/1864, both residing Kurnool.

The other one is in Kurnool
William (crossed out replaced by Willoughby) Thomas Brereton and Mary Quince Beaumont both with all the same details

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Emeltee.

So D is an error for Q in the census.

Henry Willoughby c. 25 Dec 1867 Medomsley, Durham
Willoughby Thomas BRERETON & Mary Louisa
Batch: C000692

The age in the census fits the 1830 bap with name as Mary Louisa. Bio has 1836.

Dave

 

[emeltee]

With her mother's name being Louisa then Mary Louisa makes sense. I can understand how Louisa could be mistranscribed as Quince but the images of the marriage definitely said Quince.

Emeltee

 

[DaveHam9]

Grandmother is Mary

Louisa Wilson Selby
birth: 13 Jun 1806 Middlesex
parents: Prideaux Selby & Mary


1851 census is clearly Mary D daur U 20.

Death in Queensland
1941/B51910 Brereton Henry Willoughby - Willoughby Thomas - Mary Louisa Beaumont


An image of the 1830 bap to confirm dob if we are lucky?

Dave

 

[emeltee]

Baptised Twyford 27 Dec 1830 Mary Louisa dau of Charles and Louisa Wilsin Beaumont abode Twyford occ Miller

That's the entry in the Church register

Emeltee

PS British India Office baptisms has Henry Willoughby 1867 Mary Louisa Annie 1868 and Charles William Francis 1874 all baptised in India. Can't find Thomas Willoughby or Ada Margaret. So I don't quite understand the 1867 baptism in Medomsley

 

[emeltee]

I have found the following deaths in India

Thomas Willoughby Selby Brereton died 19 May 1867 of Cholers aged 1 yr 10 mths and 9 days son of Willoughby Thomas and Mary Louisa Brereton

Ada Margaret Brereton died 24 Mar 1872 dau of Willoughby Thomas and Mary Louisa Brereton aged 6 mths 3 days

Charles William Francis Brereton died of a fever 8 May 1875 aged 9 mths. parents Willoughby Thomas and Mary Louisa

Mary Louisa Brereton died 28 May 1893 aged 55, wife of Colonel Brereton

Willoughby Thomas Brereton, Colonel Indian Army died 10 April 1915 aged 76

Emeltee

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Emeltee.

I assumed most of the deaths listed in the bio were in India but it's good to confirm that and to have extra details.

I'm not sure about a few things.

Births Sep Qtr 1865
BRERETON Thomas Willoughby Selby Cuckfield 2b 139

1865 - 1867 in England ?

I'll resume tomorrow.

Dave

 

[emeltee]

Should you be interested in his career he joined 10 Oct 1857, was made a Lieutenant 17 Feb 1860, a Captain 10 Oct 1869, a Major 10 Oct 1877, Lieutenant Colonel 10 Oct 1883 and finally Colonel 10 Oct 1895.

Emeltee

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Emeltee.

I had these bits.

Mary Louisa Brereton died 28 May 1893 aged 55, wife of Colonel Brereton

From Willoughby's bio

m Mary Louisa Beaumont 15 Sep 1864 (b 27 Nov 1836, d 28 May 1893)

Neither fit with 1830 baptism and age 20 in 1851 census.

Dave

 

[emeltee]

I've re checked the entry and it definitely says 55. However mistakes can be made by both the informant and the person writing down the info. As everything lse fits with the family I personally would accept it as the correct death. Perhaps someone has misread a numeral when copying from notes into the document.

Emeltee

 

[DaveHam9]

I'm not sure which bit is wrong Emeltee.

Year of birth 1836 in the bio is not calculated from age at death. Other dates in the bio are correct so it would be odd just one was wrong.

If baptism and census are correct then dob in bio is wrong.

Willoughby died years after Mary. Did she pretend to be younger so age difference was not seen to be 8 years?

Dave

 

[emeltee]

Perhaps someone has misread a '0' as an '8'. Looking at some of the figures written in the various Censuses this is a possibility. Otherwise you may be right about dumbing down the age gap. The entries for the marriage just say 'of full age' meaning over 21 so no help there. I think we sometimes just have to accept that mistakes are made.

Emeltee

 

[DaveHam9]

Yes, Emeltee, all sorts of errors are made along the way.

Middle name Quince ??

I've looked again and I can't find a Twyford to fit this:

Mary Louisa Beaumont
christening: 27 Dec 1830 St Michaels Bishops Stortford, Hertford
Charles Beaumont & Louisa Wilson

Baptised Twyford 27 Dec 1830 Mary Louisa dau of Charles and Louisa Wilsin Beaumont abode Twyford occ Miller

That's the entry in the Church register.

In a 1837 baptism occupation is listed as factor.

Dave

 

[emeltee]

My apologies, that was my mistake. She was baptised Bishops Stortford but the family abode was Twyford.

Emeltee

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Emeltee.

Census has Twyford. Must be a very small place.

Found a photo of H W.

Dave

 

[emeltee]

I presume that's Henry Willoughby, the son.

Emeltee

 

[DaveHam9]

Yes.

Social Gossip
A pretty wedding was celebrated at St. Nicolas' church, Sandgate, on December 30, when Corporal H. Willoughby Brereton (late of the original 9th Battalion, A.I.F.) was married to Miss M. C. Browne (daughter of Mr. L. Browne, Sandgate). The Rev. S. Baggaley officiated. The guests were entertained at breakfast, and later Corporal and Mrs. Brereton left for their home in Brisbane.
