Families of Stoke Bruerne, Northamptonshire,England


Arthur Mayes-8495 was born before 1889 in , , England. He married Minnie Mallard Chamberlain-8411 on 13 Feb 1909 in Leicester, Leicestershire, England.

NOTE from John Lockely (email Apr 2006), birth date my estimate.

MARRIAGE from John Lockely (email Apr 2006).

Minnie Mallard Chamberlain-8411 [Parents] was born on 3 May 1887 in Towcester, Northamptonshire, England. She died on 8 Feb 1974 in Leicester, Leicestershire, England. She married Arthur Mayes-8495 on 13 Feb 1909 in Leicester, Leicestershire, England.

BIRTH from John Lockley (email March 2005). She was his grandmother. She was born in the Towcester workhouse. I assume that her father was Jabez Mallard for whom her mother was working as housekeeper at the time of the 1881 census. In 2005 he obtained a copy of her birth certificate from the Towcester Registry office and it gives her forenames as Minnie Mallard, no father listed.

WORKHOUSE, Towcester records mention her christening and a note of finding her a position at Woodend in 1898 (from John Lockley - email May 2006). Since her mother had been in the workhouse for three years before she was born, her relationship to Joseph Mallard is questionable.

MARRIAGE from John Lockely (email Apr 2006). She gave her father as John Chamberlain, but her mother had been long separated from him by then. She stated that he was deceased.

DEATH from John Lockely (email Apr 2006)
