Great x3 Aunt Mary Jane Mutters

My Great x3 Aunt Mary Jane (1852 - after 1871) was a domestic servant, and the older sister of my Great Great Grandfather George Mutters (1865 - 1918).

Mary Jane was born in Jan/Feb/Mar 1852 in Woodbury, Devon, to George Mutters (about 27), a farm labourer and sexton, and Anna Maria Mutters (nee Havill) (about 26), a lacemaker and housewife. Anna Maria was about three and half to six and half months with Mary Jane, when she married George.

Mary Jane was baptised on 28th March 1852 in Woodbury Devon. At the time of Mary Jane's birth, the family lived on Broadway, a main road in Woodbury.

Mary Jane was the eldest of six children (three daughters and three sons):

• Mary Jane  1852 - after 1871  (at least 19 years old)
• Elizabeth Ann  1854 - 1856  (18 months old)
• Sarah Ann  1857 - 1928  (70 years old)
• John Thomas  1859 - after 1871  (at least 11 years old)
• William George  1862 - 1864  (15 - 18 months old)
• George  1868 - 1918  (52 years old)

1861 Census:

As a young woman, Mary Jane worked as a domestic servant for the Foster family, headed by grocer George Foster, on The Strand in Exmouth.

1871 Census:

Unfortunately, I cannot find any later records definitely related to Mary Jane. We leave her a young woman in domestic service, in Exmouth. Maybe researching her younger siblings will throw some light on Mary Jane's adult life.
