MURE or MARE??? Poss of English Bicknor (General)
I have a Mary Jane Jones born 11th May 1852, English Bicknor. Mother is shown on Birth Certificate as Mary Ann nee Mure or Mare but I can't find any reference to either of these names, father is George Jones.
I have Mary Jane in 1861 as a boarder staying with the Churchill family Anchorberry Hill, West Dean so no details of parents available there.
Anyone else come across this name please???

If this is her Baptism , does the MARE refer to father being a Mariner ?

Mary Jane JONES 1852
Hi
Thanks for finding that. It's difficult to read the Birth Certificate but yes the fathers occupation is given as Mariner. The 'name surname and maiden name of mother' box reads Mary Ann Jones formerly Mure (or Mare)

MARE ? MACE ? MORE ?

Could it be MACE ? or MORE ?( Moore)
MARE ? MACE ? MORE
It's M?re. At first glance it looks like Mure but the second letter could be an 'a' that the writer has not closed at the top. I would have said Mure comparing the 'u' to that in the writer's June. Just couldn't find any reference to Mure anywhere.

So why was Mary Jane with James Churchill the Carpenter ?
Idea - she is related to his wife , who is a MANN(S), i.e. was George JONES wife Mary Ann MANN ?
