Mary Ann Jelley ~1814-1882

- only 70% sure her surname was Jelley!

But assuming it was!, her parents were likely still in Coventry after her 1838 marriage to Henry Smith .

1814. Mary Ann Jelly was baptised to Jonathan & Hannah Jelly, he a watchmaker, in St Michaels Coventry on 27/10/1814 - Ancestry Warwickshire baptism records . These parents are in 1841C . Also baptisms of Jonathan 1816, Elizabeth 1820, Catherine 1823, Sarah 1825, Eliza 1828 & James 1830 to Jonathan & Hannah , address St Michaels. Would appear that Mary Ann Jelley 1814 was the firstborn
