Biography

Mary (Udy) Braund was born in Cornwall, England.

Family

Mary Udy is Likely to be the one baptised at Quethiock on 11 Oct 1745, daughter of Richard and Joan Udy. ^[1] Mary goes on to name 2 of her own children Richard and Joan, so this seems quite probable.

Siblings

Mary was one of at least 3 children born to Richard and Joan Udy at Quethiock. ^[2] The children are as follows:

1. Catherine baptised in 1744
2. Mary baptised in 1745
3. John baptised in 1747.

Parents

Father Richard Udy married Joan Smith at Quethiock on 16 Apr 1744. ^[3] These records are very terse and there are no further details.

Marriage

James Braund married Mary Udy at Quethiock on 27th November 1766. The couple were both of this parish and married by banns. They could both sign their names. Witnesses were Saml. Braund and Jno. Hawkins. ^[4]

Children

There were at least 9 children born to James and Mary. The children are as follows:

1. John 1768
2. John 1769
3. Joan 1771
4. James 1774
5. Samuel 1776
6. Jane 1779
7. Mary 1782
8. Richard 1786
9. Betty 1788

Apart from the last 2 children, they were baptised at Quethiock. There are no details about residence or father's occupation. ^[5] Richard and Betty were baptised at Menheniot. Again the registers contain nothing further. ^[6]

Death

Mary died in 1823 at the age of 78. She was buried at Quethiock on the 23rd December 1823. She had been living at Church Town in the parish. ^[7]

Research Notes

The original poster gave a birth date of 2 May 1746. This matches a baptism for a Mary Udy at Luxulyan, daughter of Nicholas and Elizabeth Udy. This seems unlikely for many reasons. There are several possible other candidates named Mary Udy not to mention several more with a known variant surname of Eddy or Edy. I'm not sure what information the original poster had for deciding which Mary Udy was the correct one. However, Nicholas Udy died intestate in 1781 and his wife Elizabeth waived her right to administer the estate leaving her daughter Catherine the wife of Thomas Lukey to do the job. There is no mention of a daughter named Mary, wife of James Braund. ^[8] It seems much more likely this Mary Udy is the one baptised at Quethiock on 11 Oct 1745, the daughter of Richard and Joan. ^[9]
