There is an exact birth date for Mary Shell, but her birth place is listed as Ipswich, Suffolk (while her biography says Glastonbury, Somerset).  This seems to be needed information to determine which George Raymond she actually married.

The source given is "England, Select Births and Christenings", but I have searched that index at both familysearch and ancestry.com.  I can find no birth or baptism for that date for anyone named Shell or Shelley.

I can't find her at all, anywhere in England, under multiple variations of her name. I have to think the name is wrong

There are no good sources on this profile and the biography states her spouses was George Rayment rather than Raymond.

All the attached profiles just have GEDCOM or Family Tree as a source no actual records. The whole family appears to be a mess.

I've seen several alternate spellings of the Raymond name and searched for alternates, but not much came up - for him or the supposed parents.  And many different spellings of Shel*, which also came up short.

I'd just write this profile and the whole line off. This is unfortunately what happens when WT let people dump unsourced GEDCOMS onto the site
