Notes for Lady Mary Acheson
No birth record on FreeBMD.
All her census entries say she was born in Suffolk but with different years: 1835, 1836, 1837. So her birth was probably never registered.
FindMYPast produces a baptism index for 24 April 1835 at Worlidngham Suffolk and with her parents’ forenames of Archibald and Theodosia. And says this came from Family Search.
FindMyPast itself has some extra information in the form of her birth date. which it shows as 24 Apr 1835. But they have no image.
Ancestry seems to have borrowed the Family Search record, judging by their use of a FHL film number.
The FamilySearch record is:
Name Mary Acheson
Sex Female
Christening Date 24 Apr 1835
Christening Place Worlingham, Suffolk
Birth Date 21 Mar 1835
Father's Name Archibald Acheson
Father's Sex Male
Mother's Name Theodosia
Mother's Sex Female
I have ordered a copy from Suffolk Record Office.
Her parents were Archibald and Theodosia, née Brabazon with Theodosia’s father being 10th earl of Meath, Acheson, 3rd earl and countess Gosford, baron and baroness Warlingham and baron and baroness Acheson. Her father died in 1864, her mother in 1876.
