Individual Note (shared)

Margaret Lauderdale's Daughter Mary Lauderdale (698)

 

Mary Lauderdale was baptised on 5 September 1834 in Wark, Northumberland. The FamilySearch (LDS) record of her baptism shows that her mother was Margaret Lauderdale (693) but the father's name is not given. The 1841 Census records both Margaret and Mary as members of William Lauderdale (691)'s household but does not give relationships. However, the relationship is established by the baptismal record.

There is no record of Mary after the 1841 Census. She does not appear in any subsequent Censuses nor can a death registration or burial record be found. It is therefore assumed that she was adopted. As at that time adoption was an informal process and there would be no supporting records. If her surname was changed she would be impossible to trace.
