Mary Bush

Marriages:

1 Dec 1742 at St Nicholas Great Yarmouth to Nicholas Hook

23 Sep 1766 to Thomas PELLS Widower of Brinton at Cley. Both made their mark.
Thomas was probably old enough to be her father and died the following year.

16 Nov 1769 at Cley Edward Thompson widower to Mary Pells widow of Brinton

Mary was finally buried
9 August 1809 in Cley, Norfolk, aged 90

No gravestone or MI.

I have found all three marriages, but don't have notes of the last two. I know the first is correct because her son William is buried as son of Nicholas and Mary, formerly Bush.

I assume that her family came from Yarmouth, or Suffolk, or even farther away, but she could have been a local girl, just working away from home.

Why I thought Mary married a Mr Fox, I do not know. The Mary Fox who witnessed Henry Hook's marriage was literate.
