Message: Dear John,

I recently learned that my William WOOTTON, b 1845 Southwark, married Mary Ann MAYERSBACH, b 1849. On their marriage 9 Jan 1866, William was living at 4 St. Peters Place in Walworth. William died a few years later. Our family story says that his widow Mary Ann married again to a Mr. LAW, who was in Parliament. She is said to have received a pension from the Crown after Mr. LAW's death. They had about 5 children together approximately. The MAYERSBACH / MAYERSBACK family has a connection in Walworth. Do you connect to them at all? Thanks. Karen Mohr, mohr@buffnet.net

Message: Seeking info on the families of William WOOTTON, b abt 1844 Southwark, died as a young man, and his wife Mary Ann MAYERSBACH, b 1849. They had two sons: Charles Alfred WOOTTON, b 1866 Southwark, and Joseph Wright WOOTTON, b 1868 Lambeth. After William's death, Mary Ann is said to have married a Mr. LAW and had about 5 children with him. William was the son of John and Harriet WOOTTON who lived at King's Bench Walk in Southwark (1861, 1851 census). Mary Ann was the daughter of Charles MAYERSBACH and Harriet Eliza WRIGHT. We think that Harriet Eliza WRIGHT had a sister named Elizabeth WRIGHT who lived in Sydney, Australia for awhile, and lived the last 17 years of her life in Penmaenmawr, Caernarvon, Wales. Any info greatly appreciated. Thanks. Karen Mohr, mohr@buffnet.net

Message: Hi everyone. It turns out that my William WOOTTON and his wife Mary Ann MAYERSBACH were divorced, which means that the marriage didn't end because "William died young!"

Message: Hi everyone,
I'm seeking for info on the descendants/ancestors of Thomas WRIGHT (b 1797 Weston Parish, Cheshire, England; d 1881 Dwygyfylchi, Caernarvon, Wales) and his wife Ann OWEN, daughter of William OWEN - a butcher in Dwygyfylchi.

Mary Ann (WRIGHT) LAW is said to have rec'd a pension from the Crown after her LAW husband's death. She had 5 LAW children. Her sister Elizabeth WRIGHT's death notice was on the front page of the London Times in 1905. She is said to have lived in Sydney, Australia for awhile. Elizabeth seems to have been a very interesting lady from her will, but I haven't identified any family members from the will yet. I didn't find an obituary for her either. Their father Thomas was an agent for the quarry there. I would love to find out more about this family and their lives. Mary Ann WRIGHT and William WOOTTON are my gg-grandparents. Thanks for any info or advice. Karen Mohr, mohr@buffnet.net
