Dear John Rudge

Thank you very nuch for replying to my request for help.

I think that John Green and Mary Ann Markey must have married in N. America about 1870 because their eldest daughter Emily was born there in 1872 but they were back in S.Wales by the time their second child was born in 1874. I suppose they could have had previous children who died in America.

Mary Ann doesn't show up on the 1861 or 1871 census of England or Wales. John Green was living in Wales in 1861 but not in 1871.

I plan to look up again the Immigration records available on Ancestry.co.uk but i haven't yet found how to look up the censuses for the USA. A subscription to Ancestry.com seems expensive until I have more things to look up! I'll certainly remember your suggested possible variations on the name when I do so.

Many thanks again for your interest
