Further to my earlier posting, also email freom yourself advising that Ada Trigg was an illegitimate daughter of Lucy Trigg, before her marriage to John Clalford. For continuity of the thread, I need to update my earlier posting.

I have been re-checking the marriage between "a" Mary Ann Trigg and James Reynolds in 1868, which I previously had attributed to Mary Ann Trigg daughter of John Trigg & Ann Matthews. I had been fooled by the Meredith Witnesses who had associations with this family. I have noted that the marriage certificate you sent me of the marriage between Mary Ann Trigg & John Harrington that Mary Ann is shown as spinster, also the witnesses include Emily Trigg, which is probably her sister.

The final piece of evidence that I show below is the 1871 Census entry for John Trigg, which shows he is clearly not deceased as is the John Trigg father at the 1868 wedding between Mary Ann Trigg & James Reynolds. Also on the 1871 Census is Ada Trigg, illegitimate daughter of Lucy :

Apologies for getting it wrong.
