Name Mary Ann KEMSLEY Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Mar Q 1839 Bredgar, Kent, England 
- GRO ref: Kemsley, Mary Ann q1 1839 Milton RD 5 356; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as Whitehead
Baptised 31 Mar 1839 St. John the Baptist Church, Bredgar, Kent, England - From data transcribed on KFHS CD 19
Shows Mary Ann, dau of Nathaniel and Elizabeth KEMSLEY, abode Bredgar, father a Labourer
Gender Female Residence 1901 12, Castle Street, Queenborough, Sheppey, Kent, England - Mary Ann seems to be with her daughter Rosa in Queenborough at the time of the census.
The entry is not a perfect fit, she seems to be recorded as 'Mary J SRANTHAM [?]', aged 65, born Bredgar. Shown as single ('S' when should be 'W') but could be another error (G could look like Sr, oa like an - esp if an open a, similar to u, and u/ n ...). I cannot find Mary Ann anywhere else, but the entry for her son Charles and daughter Edith suggests they were living in the house of which she was head, as Charles although listed first is shown as 'son' and not 'head'.
