  Mother	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.
