Mary was born in Crondall Hampshire about 1816. She is the daughter of William Cox (we have not determined the identity of her mother).
On 25 December 1838 in Crondall, Mary married Frederick Ralph and they became the parents of 6 children.
Mary passed away in Crondall about 1902.
Research Notes
We were unable to come up with a definitive birth record, but various census records would put Mary Ann's birth at 1816 or 1817. We are fairly confident that her death record of 1902 is the correct one. (She did participate in the 1901 Census).
