Oh Chris you little star you! Thankyou.
I should have known that as they called little ann Maria Annie.
I did have all those others and have visited that grave yard but the church lost the plans years ago and i couldnt find any headstones..
Thankyou again :-)
Off to buy the cert and cry again.

I thought i had found all my Matildas children from her 1st Marriage years ago....how wrong I was! Abel Horton b14/04/1856 Charles Horton b 3/3/1859 Ann Maria Horton b13/1/1861- d 30/5/1864.
Now i have found this new birth of a Mary Matilda Horton b 25/10/1862. Cert arrived today. Same parents and Maiden name. Father George Horton b1836-1863. All 4 born in Newinvention Willenhall Staffs. (Walsall ish)
Now the puzzel begins.... Where did she go??? I cant find a death a Marriage nothing!
All of Matildas children and marriages/deaths were reg at Wolverhampton.
Matilda had a hard time in the 60s as her Husband died in 1863 then her Daughter died the following year aged just 3. cause of death.. Injuries caused by a quantity of oil of vitriol being thrown over her. she died 3 days later.
Did Matilda have her Children taken away from her? In 1861 census her eldest son Abel was staying with his great Uncle Abel Fletcher.
Any ideas?
