When I started doing her branch I had a look round to see if anyone else had made public their research on Mary France’s line as this would be a double check for any errors and problems on my part.  Fortunately there was a profusely documented Family Tree on Ancestry which have been able to use for this purpose.  This enables me to both find good public reference documents and check that I have them right when any problem arises.

The Muggleston Tree has these for Mary Frances’ children:

Lucy Frances (1830-1916)   Bapt not yet found
Fanny M (1831-1833)        Bapt found (by Hy Brown)
Atherton A (1854-1858)     Bapt found.     <———-  born when ?????  Dodgy bapt transcript, it is 1834.
Lecilia Mary (1834-1859)   Bapt as Cecil Mary
George S (1838-1924)
Fanny G F (1839-1924)      Bapt found
Ernest H (1841-1841)       Bapt found
Edward Eden (1842-1842)    Bapt found
Edward H (1844-1876        Bapt found
Frederick W (1847-1881)    Bapt found
Alexander W (1837-1878)    


And Alexander W is said to have m. Anna Maria J Radclyffe and this line followed:
Nora Mary B Park (1873-1930) m. George Lys (1867-1949)
Margaret J Lys (1903-1991) m. Charles G Todd (1896-1979)
(name hid) Todd m. Geoffrey A Muggleston (1931-2008)

Now to try to substantiate this from the public records I can find.

Notes for Alexander Atherton & Mary Frances (Family)
Their marriage, from FamilySearch:

groom's name:                     Alexander Atherton Park
bride's name:                     Mary Frances Brown
marriage date:                    21 Jul 1829
marriage place:                   Wimbledon,Surrey,England
indexing project (batch) number:  M01344-3
system origin:                    England-ODM
source film number:               0991780, 0991781
_______________

Ancestry.com has produced a copy of their marriage entry in the parish register and the transcript, by me, is:

“Marriages solemnized in the Parish of Wimbledon in the County of Surrey in the year 1829
“. . . .
“Alexander Atherton Park of this Parish Bachelor and Mary Frances Brown Spinster of this Parish were married in this Church by Licence with Consent of [blank] this twenty first day of July in the Year One thousand eight hundred and twenty nine By me  Henry Brown Offg Minister
This Marriage was solemnized between us [signed]
  Alexander Atherton Park  Mary Frances Brown
In the Presence of [Signed]  J A Park  William Brown  William Robinson  Robert Mayne”

Her father did not sign: he had died three mnths earlier.  But two of her brotheres signed: Henry who conducted the ceremony and William her eldest brother and who probably gave her away.

I wonder who the Robert Mayne was who was the last witness?  Frances’ paternal grandmother was a Mayne and Robert might have been a member of that family and thus a relation.
