Thread: Polly Plowman 1841/51

Could someone see if they can find a Polly Plowman/Ploughman in 1841 and 51?She was born Polly Johnson Pickering 7 Aug 1774 Wawne Yorkshire and married Jonn Plowman 9 Nov 1795 Wawne.

Thanks

Hi Ed,

Age out a bit but I think that is her.I assume you were unable to find her in 1841.I am also having a hard time with her death.

I have been told that Polly's sometimes went by name of Mary for whatever reason.Assuming that is the case then my Polly/Mary died Sep 1861 Beverley.We shall see

Hi Ed,

I was going to say the same thing. My husband's great grandmother was a Mary, but on his great grandfather's service records, she's down as Polly! So, it's possible your Polly was a Mary.

Thanks noggin and Mrsp
The 1841 is them.John the father was baptised 21 Nov 1772 and John the son baptised 23 Jun 1805.The first son George Johnson Plowman baptism shows mother as Mary but I thought it was just an error.
