This looks like Mary in 1851 but I have to go and eat now:

I couldn't find a birth reg for Fanny or Frances Preedy either!
However, I took a chance that Annie Preedy was actually b at Bodicote in Oxfordshire (rather than Bandicutt as written on the 1871 census) I looked at Ann* b Bodicote in 1851 and then looked to see if there was a sister called Mary b somewhere that looked a bit like Denton. I found an Ann and Mary of the right ages, Ann b Bodicote and Mary b Deddington Oxon and their surname was............... Preedy! lol http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/88...d=&usePUB=true Transcribed by Ancestry as Pereey So, on the face of it Annie Preedy was not a widow in 1871 which explains why I didn't find anything when I looked for Preedy marriages and a death for a Preedy husband etc. Of course I can't find a Preedy/Smith marriage but as Kate said, Mary may have been previously married.

It seems I've been too slow as I spent a VERY LONG TIME on that last post, but I was too slow!

This is looking like I won't be able to order a birth certificate for her.

Maybe not, but it could be that she was registered with a different name from what we are expecting. There are a few Ellens with different middle names around the right time, for instance.

This is Mary Preedy on the 1861 census, at Cropredy, Oxfordshire (Thomas's birthplace), 21, unmarried, dairy maid.

There is a Mary Preedy marriage in the Oct-Dec quarter of 1861 in Banbury district, which was the district for Cropredy, to either a John Checkley or an Edward Gregory. The other bride was Emma Cantwell. I haven't managed to find any of them afterwards yet to sort them out.

There is a John Checkley, married, with no wife, in Cropredy on the 1871 census. He is 59.
http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/76...l=ReturnRecord And I think this is the same John in 1861, a widower: http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/87...nSearchResults

Good job on finding that previous marriage. So what's your theory?

John Checkley is down as a widower in 1881:
http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/75...1526_1531-0154 and in 1891: http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/65...nSearchResults It was pretty normal for someone to say they were widowed on the census when they were really separated from their spouse, though. There is a John Checkley death Jan-Mar 1900 Banbury district, age 87, which could be him. If he was Mary's husband, it would certainly explain why we can't find a marriage between her and Thomas Smith.
