    Unhappy Mary Morey - Havant

    Hello! I am getting very confused with the Morey family and I wondered if anyone else was researching them?

    My 2xGGrandmother was Mary Morey, born Havant in 1844. I know quite a lot about her but have a mystery surrounding the 1861 Census, where she appears to be in service in Devon somehow!

    More confusing is that her parents seem to be George and Mary (nee Morey!). There seem to be several George's around the time in Havant and I wondered if anyone had succeeded in sorting them out? I can tell you a lot about the family from then on if you need it, but can't get BACK any further!
    Thanks

    Perhaps Mary met or was recommended to the Carpenter Family when the children were born or maybe even related somehow? Perhaps through Chapel members.

    I don't see what the mystery is. Her employer used to live in Southsea (it's all in the census!)

    More confusing is that her parents seem to be George and Mary (nee Morey!).
    What does Mary Morey's birth certificate have to say about it?
