Biography

• The name "Mary" was recycled for a younger sibling. Because of this it is reasonable to infer that this Mary Stratton died in infancy. No record of a death registration that unambiguously relates to this Mary Louisa Stratton has been accessed. However, the English came relatively late to a nationally based births/marriages/deaths registration scheme similar to those that had been implemented under the Napoleonic system a generation earlier in the rest of western Europe. In England the requirement for births, marriages and deaths registrations to be centrally recorded was introduced only in 1837, and for many decades resistance to it persisted. Non-compliance remained a significant factor among locally based responsible officials and among British subjects [?aka citizens] through the middle decades of the ninetweenth century
