Mary Tingey
1820-1883
Mary Tingey was the oldest known child of Robert Tingey and his wife Fanny "Frances" Harrison of Canon Street, Little Downham, Cambridgeshire.
She married John Crisp and she bore him a son, William. John died not long after their son was born and by the time he was 5 years old, she had remarried to railway labourer James Martin, a widower. Together the couple had at least three children, maybe as many as six, although it appears that two of them died in their infancy. By 1868, Mary was widowed again and she appears on the 1871 census as a widow and living at the Gatehouse at Second Drove, Little Downham, with her second son James.
In 1877, aged 57 years, she married 62 year old widower Matthew Watlington (although the couple appear as 'Watling' after this) and they lived at 100 Foot Bank, just North West of Little Downham until Matthew's death in June 1883.
Twenty days after Matthew's funeral on the 9th June 1883, Mary was buried too.
