Elizabeth BLACKMORE

  General Notes:

There is no Elizabeth Maynard of suitable age, married to John, on the 1841 census. However, there is a John - with Grace - in 1841 and 1851. This is a different John as his marriage to Grace Ford was in 1835

Baptism at Burrington, Devon
Elizabeth d/o James Blackmore and Grace his wife baptised 18 Jun 1810

Banns at Burrington, 1836
John Mynard of this parish and Elizabeth Blackmore of this parish
banns read March 6th, March 13th and March 20th (by James Buckingham)

Marriage at Burrington, 1836, page 52, entry 154
John Maynard of this parish and Elizabeth Blackmore of this parish were married in this church by banns this twenty sixth day of March in the year 1836 by me James Buckingham vicar.
In the presence of James Blackmore (brother or father) and John Kelly (signed many entries).
- all signed their name
- originally written as Mynard and altered later

The following demonstrates that Elizabeth Maynard who died in 1839 wasn't Elizabeth nee Blackmore
Possible Deaths Jun 1839
MAYNARD Betty Southmolton 10 122

The information on the Death Certificate wasn't conclusive one way or the other.
Died Twenty sixth of June 1839 at Burrington
Betty Maynard, Female, 33 years, Husband a Farmer.
Registered by Elen Phillips, present at the death, Chittlehampton, on Thirtieth of June 1839.
- There is an Ellen Philips in Chittlehampton in 1841 and 1851. States she was born there. No known connection and Chittlehampton is quite a way from Burrington.
- Age is a bit high (Elizabeth Blackmore was baptised in 1810 and so it was assumed she would be 29 in 1839)
- note that the certificate doesn't name the husband
- This is Elizabeth nee Huxtable who married William Maynard (see below)

This is the burial record for the above person
From Burrington burial register, 1839
Betty Maynard, Lower Hacknell Cottage, July 1, aged 33 - minister was J Buckingham

The birth of William Maynard in 1837 gave his parents as William Maynard and Elizabeth nee Huxtable. Hence there were two people in Burrington who were called Elizabeth Maynard! Needed to search further to attempt to unravel this problem.

Found the grave in Burrington churchyard. There are two names : Betty (died 26 Jun 1839 as above) and husband William who died in Feb 1841.

Hence this death was of Betty Maynard, nee Huxtable, for whom I have the birth certificate of their son, William, who was born in 1837.
