Notes for Mary Luscombe
This death may well be hers:
Name: Age at Death (in years):
DUNCAN, MARY 71
GRO Reference: 1841 M Quarter in EAST STONEHOUSE Volume 09 Page 233
This would make her 24 at marriage, sounds reasonable.
_________________
In 1851 she was living with her daughter and said she was a widow “of the late Capt H Duncan RN” and born in Plymouth, Devon and was 76, thus born in 1775.
So the above death information is nor hers!
