June 1841 Census records: Mary Woodcock age 19 born 1822 at 4 Mill Lane, St Peter at Gowts, Lincoln, with Edmund (age 30 labourer) & Susanah (age 40) Taylor and her older sister Elizabeth Woodcock age 20
October 1841. Stamford Mercury, 8 October 1841. Lincoln October 8. Married. Yesterday, at the Independent Chapel, Newland, Mr John Duckering, to Mary Woodcock.
February 1847, John Duckering, Mary’s husband dies, she is about 25 years of age and left with two surviving daughter Elizabeth aged 5 and Susan aged about 6 months.
January 1851 Mary gives birth to Sarah Ann at the Union Workhouse, Lincoln.
March 1851 Census, 4 Mill Lane, St Peter at Gowts, Lincoln, Edmund Taylor head M. 38 Ag Lab b Lincoln, Susan wife 52 b Westcot, Lincoln, Mary Duckering lodger widow 28 b Lincoln, Elizabeth dau 8 & Susanna dau 4 both born Lincoln
December 1851 Mary gives birth to Mary at Mill Lane, Lincoln. He duaghter lives for one day.
May 1853 Mary gives birth to Mary Ann at Unoin Workhouse, Lincoln.
August 1853 Marriage solemnized at the parish church in the parish of St Botolph Lincoln in the county of Lincoln. No. 84 1853 Aug’t 7, Arnold Sharpe, 23 bachelor, labourer, residing Clarkson’s Row, father Arnold Sharpe, waterman. Mary Duckering, 23 widow, residing Clarkson’s Row, father James Woodcock, fishmonger. (Mary’s age is abt 31, not 23)
Stamford Mercury, 17 August 1855. Elizabeth & Susan Duckering, chargeable to St Botolph, were sworn to Horsington. This will be probably to the workhouse.
May 1861 Census, 5 Albert Place, St Botolph, Lincoln Arnold Sharpe mar. 30 labourer, Mary wife 39, Elizabeth Duckering dau single 19, Susan Duckering dau 15, John W Duckering son 1 & Susan Taylor lodger mar 60 char woman all born Lincoln
On Elizabeth's marriage certificate - 1864 - her father is given as John Duckering, waterman deceased and both Arnold & Mary Sharp have signed as witnesses. See certificate on file.
I believe Mary is the mother of Sarah Ann Duckering, born 12th Jan 1851 & died 1851, Mary Duckering, born 12th Dec 1851 & died 13th Dec 1851 and Mary Ann Duckering, born 16th May 1853 & died 1853. I have drawn this conclusion from her circumstances. Widowed aged 24, the birth localities are all in the same vicintiy of Lincoln, she could not read or write, so made her mark for her marriage to John Duckering and the birth of these children. Is of the right age to bear children and she would would have still two surviving young daughters with her during this period - Elizabeth, born 1842, so 9 in 1851 and Susan born 1846, so aged 5 in 1851. When she married Arnold Sharpe in 1853, they were residing at the same address in clarkson’s Row - so could he be the father of one or more of these children.
