INDEX

[223] There is certainly confusion about whom Mary Ann's father was. Her mother, Love Cozens, was married to George Bell in 1834 at Kensington Holy Trinity but, in the 1841 Census, George was not shown as living at the same residence as Love and her 2 daughters, Charlotte and Jane. Mary Ann was born in 1846 but was registered by Love as the daughter of William Eperage (Etheridge ?). On the birth certificate, Love is described as "Love Eperage, late Bell, formerly Cousins". Mary Ann, in subsequent Censuses was always shown with surname "Bell" (as was Love herself) and married in the name of Bell but her marriage certificate heightens the confusion. Her father's name is given as WILLIAM Bell not GEORGE.

What happened to George Bell and William Etheridge remains a mystery as neither of them seems to have been a part of Love or Mary Ann's life after 1846, at least as far as the Censuses show.
