Biography
Mary (Norris) Beauclerk was a member of aristocracy in England.
Mary Norris was the daughter and eventual heir of Thomas Norris, MP, of Speke Hall, Lancashire, and his wife Magdalen Aston.[1] She may have been born 22 March 1698 at Speke.[2]
Her father died in June 1700 and left the Speke estates to his younger brothers, but gave his widow and daughter one third of the income each, though this caused a number of disputes and litigations.[1] In 1730,[1] or 1736, after the death of her uncles, Mary succeeded to the Speke estates.
She married on 9 December 1736, Lord Sidney Beauclerk, the fifth son of of Charles Beauclerk, 1st Duke of St Albans, and his wife Lady Diana de Vere. Lord Sidney was a notorious fortune-hunter[3]
They had one son;
- Topham Beauclerk, born 1739
Her husband died 23 November 1744,[3] and Mary died 20 November 1766.

Also, if her maiden name is Norris then it's more likely her father's last name is also Norris, not Beauclerk; and that Beauclerk is her married name since she married Sidney Beauclerk.
I suggest the dates in this WorldConnect record are plausible and representative of many other people's conclusion re those dates. Birth: 22 Mar 1697/98 in Speke, Lancashire, England Death: 20 Nov 1766 http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=remme1007&id=I21646
