Rhetoric question (General)

Is there anyone in the Forest to whom I am not related?

The more I help out here the more I feel that a few core Forest family lines exist that mix and mingle with each other - so yes we are all cousins :-)

leaving Mary free to remarry

Mary Griffiths ( widow) had become a Kear in 1811 - and eventually the widow of George Kear in 1816. What I/we need to work out is who Mary was christened as or did she use her maiden name to marry in 1811.
