This looks like Richard's birth

Births Sep 1861
SYMONS Richard Henry Holsworthy 5b 529

I would guess that he was born before either marriage!

Thanks everyone, your information has been very helpful, perhaps mary as you say was not legally married as she did marry Thomas in her maiden name. Thanks again Ellen.

Births Jun 1868
LEWIS Maud Isabella Houghton 10a 445

1871 census looks like it should be I and not T for the initial as transcribed and this is the only birth coming up in the correct place from 1867 to 1869.

Or Thomas.
Births Dec 1870
LEWIS Thomas James S Houghton 10a 440

I cant find a birth for Richard Henry .

As she married Thomas Keenan as Mary Ann Symonds I dont think she actually married a Mr Lewis legally as she would have married as Lewis the second time?
Her eldest child was born Cornwall,so I would assume that she would have married in Cornwall,if she did in fact legally marry a Mr Lewis at all.
A childs birth cert would give you his name...

hello, I am trying to find the name of the first husband of a mary ann symonds b 1843 in brigg parish cornwall. In the 1871 census she was a mary ann lewis widow. In the 1881 census she again was a widow after marrying a thomas keenan. I cant find a marriage to her first husband and would be very grateful if anyone else can . Thankyou Ellen.
