At the birth of her daughter Emma, which she registered, she was living at Cowley Wharf, Eagle Wharf Road, Hoxton New Town, Mx.  Emma’s birth certificate gave Mary’s name and maiden name.

I wonder if the Mary Docwra death in 1878 was her? Might it have been her mother-in-law?

In the 1861 census, she was 37 and born in Bristol, Glos.

In 1871, Richard’s wife was a younger Isabella who had been born in Ulverson and seems to have come with a step son of John Davis aged 20.  Richard was then living in Whitehaven Cumberland.  And these deaths are to be found of various Mary Dockwras up till then:

Surname   First name(s)   Age   District   Vol  Page
Deaths Mar 1860   (>99%)
Docwra Mary Ann Royston 3a 167
Deaths Dec 1860   (>99%)
Docwra Mary Jane    Lambeth 1d _
Docwra Mary Jane    Lambeth 1d 2_4
Deaths Dec 1865   (>99%)
Docwra Mary       Whitehaven 10b    357

It is becoming more possible to me that Mary’s is the last death on this list.  Another certificate to order?  It has to be her, so save the tenner!

Her death index:

First name(s) MARY
Last name DOCWRA
Gender Female
Death quarter 4
Death year 1865
District Whitehaven
County Cumberland
Volume 10B
Page 357
Country England
Record set England & Wales Deaths 1837-2007

The new GRO index with age at death gives:

Name: Age at Death (in years):
DOCWRA, MARY     42
GRO Reference: 1865  D Quarter in WHITEHAVEN  Volume 10B  Page 357

This confirms the census birth dates of 1823/4.

Might this have been her in 1851 before marrying Richard Docwra?
