Mary Ann TARR
Set As Default Person -
Name Mary Ann TARR Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Abt 1852 Kenton, Devon, England
- From the 1861 census where shown as aged 8
Birth reg not found - not the Mary Ann Sargeant TARR reg in 1852 (Newton Abbot RD) as she died in 1853; also, Kenton is in St Thomas RD.
Gender Female Died Dec Q 1925 Newton Abbot Reg Dist, Devon, England
- Alive in 1861, not with parents in 1871 but would quite likely have been working and living elsewhere if still alive.
Pos deaths:
q4 1863: TARR Mary Ann Newton A. 5b 97
q2 1865: TARR Mary Ann Newton A 5b 91
- but prob neither as I think she was the Mary Ann TARR who marr Wm John PIKE in 1880
I have found the marr Mary Ann in the 1881, 1891, 1901 and 1911 censuses; the best fit on age of a Mary A(nn) PIKE of the right age in Devon up to 1950 is:

Father John TARR, b. Abt 1822, Kenton, Devon, England
, d. Jun Q 1900, Newton Abbot Reg Dist, Devon, England
(Age ~ 78 years) Mother Grace JUSTHAM, bap. 15 Mar 1829, St. Andrew’s Church, Buckland Monachorum, Devon, England
, d. Jun Q 1912, Newton Abbot Reg Dist, Devon, England
(Age ~ 82 years) Married Jun Q 1846 Plympton Reg Dist, Devon, England
- GRO ref: JESTIN, Grace to TARR, John q2 1846 Plympton St Mary RD 9 517
Is Jestin = Justham? - finding this couple in the censuses shows that Grace was the right age and born in Milton Combe, Buckland Monachorum so I'm sure it is.
The 1911 census shows that Grace and John had 13 children, 6 of whom had died by 1911. As 7 have been found in 1911, it must be the others who died.
Alive in 1911: Mary A, John, James F, Tom, Eliza J, Grace, Bessie (7)
Must have died by 1911: the 2 who died as infants (John Henry Jestham and Richard), Wm Henry, Sarah Jane, Emily, Alice (6).
