    Default Help with sort of brick wall

    Thomas Goodchild married Mary Martin Arter at St.Deny's Church Chilworth Hampshire 12 OCT 1797.

    Mary Martin Arter was baptised 2 Jul 1781 Michaelmersh, Hampshire. Only her mother's name was given at her baptism which was Mary Arter.

    Thomas Goodchild buried 4 Apr 1827 St.Deny's Church,Chilworth, Hampshire
    Mary Goodchild buried 4 Apr 1845 St. Deny's Church, Chilworth, Hampshire
    Buried in the same grave as Thomas and Mary is a Mary Martin.
    Who is Mary Martin ? There is no one with this surname on Thomas' side of the tree but the surname Martin is common in Chilworth.
    According to an article at the records office Thomas was instrumental in the laying of the foundation stone of St.Deny's Church but according to Wikipedia the Church was rebuilt in 1812.
    Apart from finding someone that can go to the graveyard and see when Mary Martin died, has anyone any other idea how I can find out who she was. I know the grave stone was moved to the outside boundary about 10 years ago and I am not sure how clear the writing is now.

    Could be Mary's mother but maybe the inscription was meant to read Mary Arter, or... she dropped the Arter name after a reason only known to her .

    Hi Hazelnut,

    Mary's mother did not have the name Martin and had remarried before her death. What I am looking for is idea's where to look further to find the proof.
