Hi All,
I have been looking for info on a lady by the name of Mary Cheesman. c1815(Or so I believe)
Frimley Surrey areas
There are possibly many variations on her name, being churchman/Cheesman/Cheeseman
I have found many things on familysearch, rootsweb, etc etc etc. Which has been very helpful.
I'll tell you what I know of her so far then hopefully someone may be able to help fill in the blanks.
I know she married a man named John TOUGH FINCH dob 1812.
They had a child, Christopher 1832.
John was sent to Australia as a convict on board the Calcutta II in 1837. Once pardoned he had a large family in Australia - that's where I fit in. I know as much as possible about John and his family so I need no further info there.
Mary and child were left behind. I believe she had another child named James in 1844, I know nothing of a spouse at that time.
I believe she was declared widowed (even though John Tough Finch was not dead)and remarried in 1862 to a man named William Watts, but can find nothing to confirm that this is the same Mary.
What I would really like to know is what happened to Mary CHURCHMAN/CHEESMAN when she was left behind in Frimley Surrey in 1837. Somebody out there in genealogy world has to be related to this lady, and I desperately seek your help.
If anyone can help me with this that would be absolutely wonderful.
Thank you so much.
