Facts and Events
Mary's maiden name and origins have yet to be established. Her first confirmed sighting is in 1752, when she and her husband John Stocker had a daughter, Ann, baptised at Oving in Sussex. There appear to have been at least three couples called John Stocker and Mary who married around that time, although judging by the sequence of baptisms it would appear that only one of those three couples went on to have children locally. Mary and John had eleven children baptised between 1752 and 1767, the first nine at Oving and the last two at neighbouring South Bersted. John was a yeoman. Mary died in 1781, being buried at South Bersted on 1st August 1781. John survived her by nearly seven years. References
