Gender Female Apprenticeship 1825 Yealmpton, Devon, England
- Yealmpton Parish records show that Mary was apprenticed to Thomas Ellis when she was aged 12 in 1825.
Since it is in the Parish records it indicates an apprenticeship arranged by the parish to help relieve poverty; usually for girls this meant learning housewifeery.
I'm sure that this must refer to this Mary.

Married 13 Apr 1810 St. Bartholomew’s Church, Yealmpton, Devon, England
- Date and place from DFHS index of PR on FMP (viewed 30 Oct 2012)
Easter was late in 1810, 22 April, so Benjamin was marrying in Lent - I don't know how common this was at the time.
A 5 week old Eleanor was bur on 29 Nov 1823 and a 20 day old Robert on 14 Dec 1819; both may well have been children of this marriage
