Family Margaret CLASPER, b. Sep Q 1849, Sunderland, Co. Durham, England
, d. Sep Q 1914, Faversham Reg Dist, Kent, England
(Age ~ 65 years) Married Dec Q 1869 Sheppey Reg Dist, Sheppey, Kent, England
- GRO ref: POWELL, William to Glassby, Margaret q4 1869 Sheppey RD 2a 1235
While the marriage registration index shows Margaret as a GLASSBY, her maiden name is shown as CLASPER in the birth registrations of all of her children.
Had Margaret been previously married to a Glassby? - I can find no such marriage, perhaps it was a mishearing of Clasper, especially if said in a Mackem accent.
