Biography

Mary was born about 1831 in Plymouth. She is the daughter of Nicholas Goss and Susan Bending. [1]

She is listed in the 1841 Census as a daughter, aged 10.

She married Frederick Robert Huxham Watts by Banns in Stoke Damerel on 24 May 1847, apparently about 16 years old, although the register records she was of full age and her father is a witness who signed the register. She signed with an X, so illiterate. Frederick is a mason, while his father is a shoemaker, like Nicholas. (Curiously, Nicholas was witness to the previous marriage on the same day, perhaps purely because he was there.)

At the baptism of her first daughter in 1849, her sister Louisa Caroline Sheldon also had a daughter baptised, and it looks likely that William Bending who also had a daughter baptised was a cousin.
