Mary Steel Barber

Hello again Everyone and thanks
The baptism record has Mary Steele Steele
The marriage record has Mary Steel Barber
Both the baptism and the marriage took place in St Marylebone but I can't find her there in 1851?I've tried so many different names but obviously haven't found the correct one.As on marriage she used Barber as a surname perhaps she lived with mother Ann Barber ?
I scoured the BMD index but the nearest entry was a Mary Steel Steel registered in Madeley,Shropshire in Dec 1841 but if so why Shropshire ?
Regards
Wendy

Abode given on the baptism register is 'Queens Hospital'

Maybe?

"Queen Charlotte’s Hospital, Marylebone
Road, St Marylebone (now in Goldhawk
Road, Hammersmith) (H27/QC)

This hospital which confusingly was also at one time
known as the General Lying In Hospital, admitted both
single and married women. It may have originated in a
house in Jermyn Street in 1739. After operating from
various addresses in Westminster and St Marylebone,
it moved to Bayswater in 1791. In 1809 the hospital
was reorganised and renamed in honour of Queen
Charlotte. It moved to Marylebone Road in 1813 and
finally to Goldhawk Road in 1940."

Records deposited in London Metropolitan Archives
include patients’ registers 1809-1949.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Yes, I noticed in the 1861 census that Mary & William Moulden are living in the same building as Lydia Esther Hall, the witness at their wedding, but I've yet to find any family connection between Mary & Lydia

This, I think , is Lydia Esther Hall, who was a witness at her wedding. A long shot, but her father was John Hall, a coachman, married to Frances. Maybe he worked with James Steele at some point??
As you see, the name Moulder also crops up.

Hello Barry
I have seen that tree and that bit of info is based on fiction rather than fact..Mary was born in St Marylebone.Without going into details I can assure you that the family from Norfolk are not the same family that I am looking for.

That appears to be a different Mary in 1851 as born in Norfolk and mother shown as Lydia

Record Type: Baptism

Father's Name: James Steele

London, England, Marriages and Banns, 1754-1921 about Mary Steel Barber

Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 16 Dec 1860
Parish: St Marylebone
Borough: Westminster
Father Name: James Barber
Spouse Father Name: John Moulden

Father was James Barber, not Steel. Mother must have been Steel.
John Burthum and Lydia Esther? Hall were witnesses.



EDIT Apologies, you are correct James STEEL is written as her father on the form.

Please please can you help find Mary Steel Barber?
The only two records I have of Mary before her marriage is as follows.
Mary Steele Steele was baptised 14/07/1841 in St Marylebone.Parents were James Steele and Ann Barber.
Mary Steel Barber married William Burthom Moulden 16/12/1860 in St Marylebone.Father was James Steel,occupation butler.
I have tried to find Mary and her father on the 1851 census but have no success at all.The 1851 is the only census where I might find parent's birthplace etc.Mary was born after the 1841 and married before the 1861 censuses.
I have all the details of her ,her husband and her children.
Regards
Wendy
